Do you mean
iptables -L run by root? (Capital L)
When no rules are configured (the default) the output should look something like this.
Code:
bash-4.2# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

I will check again. Can Slackware tell the difference between local originated requests, and stuff coming through the router?

I did a quick search for the basic netfilter packet path diagram and found it on
this page along with other information.
Perhaps someone can suggest a good tutorial on netfilter and the use of the iptables command.
EDIT:
netfilter.org was not responding when I posted this but is up now. The diagram and simple explanation I was looking for is
there.
