Experience tells me that when I stop shorewall from the command line (i.e. "service shorewall stop" from the superuser bash prompt) my network gets locked down. Ah dunno why. What I do to turn it off is go into Control Center and select Security | Firewall and then unselect everything except the Everything button. Then I do "service shorewall restart" just for good measure. Alternatively, one can just check the ssh button to allow access on ssh's port.First, God Bless MandrakeSoft!!!
Geeze, when is Mandrake going to get a decent per-ethernet card GUI firewall configurator with an advanced option that covers GUI configuration for all the protocols for say port 1000 and below, an Internet Connection Shareing on/off button as well as a configure button. Heck, I could probably write it and I can't even get a Samba-LDAP PDC to run. ;-)

Second, they'll prolly get one of those things you've mentioned about the time we all get real good at setting up and configuring a firewall the old-fashioned way. by then it'll all be a mute point, ya know? :)
