What *exactly* did you type (punctuation as well) and what *exactly* is the 
response ?

The command I want you to try is

iptables -P INPUT DROP

That is:
"iptables" in lower case
a space
a hyphen or minus sign
a capital P
a space
"INPUT" in capitals
a space
"DROP" in capitals
<enter>.

If you really do get an error in response to this, your system is very sick.
