By default, the firewall blocks all "non-established" inbound traffic, all 
outbound traffic is allowed.

If you have both external and internal (LAN) interfaces, simply manage the box 
on the LAN side.

If you only have an external interface, but have a serial console port, login 
and type "arno-iptables-firewall stop" and you will have full access via the 
external interface.  Use the Network Tab -> {Firewall Configuration} to add 
rules, Action: "Pass EXT->Local" for your management access.

If you only have an external interface, and no serial console port... mount the 
CF ext2 partition on another Linux box then edit the rc.conf.d/gui.network.conf 
text file and change the line...

FWVERS="arno"
to
FWVERS=""

then when booted the firewall will be disabled.  Follow the steps above to add 
the appropriate rules and re-enable the firewall.

Else, rebuild your CF card, and start over.
