I figured it out last night that the problem is Firestarter. It overwrtes all
iptables settings. I tried it one time, but don't feel it good and stopped.
Then, all the problems came: no matter what I did with iptables, they are all
gone after reboot -- firestarter erases all iptables settings and uses its
firewall. Since I didn't set anothing there, no port is opened. Now, I check
it off and my iptables scripts are all working normally.
Anyway, thanks to all people's help.
