It seems to me that is already in the script.
Run the script from the command line ./firewall.txt stop.
This should flush the table (iptables -F).
Run the script from the command line ./firewall.txt start
Look for output, especially the modproble lines.
You can set the first line of the script after #!/bin/sh to read set -xv and
that will show you the command being run and the results.
Good luck,
