Abdallah:
I don't think you need to disable the tables. If there are no rules,
they shouldn't be taking any action on the packets as they pass through.
Depending on your Linux and Kernel version and compile time parameters.
Different tables will be loaded by default. You could do an lsmod to see
what is there currently.
Have a look at one of the howtos showing the packet traversal through
Iptables to get a better idea how it all relates.

Subject: disabling mangle and nat tables
Hi,
I am trying to setup my firewall using iptables.
I am not interested in configuring the mangle and nat
tables at this point of time, only the filter table.
my question is how can I disable the other tables
while I am setting the rules for the filter table.
regards
Abdallah
