Commands not working

Hey people I've got a strange problem with Unix commands. Yesterday I configured my firewall using iptables. Today I wanted to modify it a bit so I log in as root and type iptables -L to check the rules but I get this error: bash: iptables: command not found No other iptables commands work either.

Did you try:
 
/usr/sbin/iptables
 
Or:
 
/sbin/iptables
 
?

when you're getting the error, what is the output of:
1. "id -a"
and
2. "echo $PATH"
 
??
