I have the same problem (I think) but I wasn't dealing with iptables. Will post if I figure it out

I'm not sure exactly how I fixed mine, but here's what I did. Just to be certain I configured the kernel properly, I reran make menuconfig.
I added another option for my network card (different from the one that was selected automatically). Also, I had a line uncommented in
my /etc/conf.d/net file that looked like this: dhcpcd_eth0="...". I put a # in front of that line, and the network came up during next reboot.
The interesting part of this, is that I had uncommented that line because the network wasn't starting. So, I really don't know why it
started to work.
