It's the same for me but I found no log .... 

This is my script, remember that it's only an attempt ..... :-)

(I need to filter only packets from the Internet) 

According to you is there something wrong?

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" = "start" ]
then
        echo "Starting firewall ......"
        iptables -P INPUT DROP
        iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT
        iptables -A INPUT -m state  --state ESTABLISHED, RELATED -j ACCEPT
        iptables -A INPUT  -j LOG --log-prefix 'bad input:'
elif [ "$1" = "stop" ]
then
        echo "Stopping firewall ....."
        iptables -F INPUT
        iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
fi

Thanks
