Hi Joe... That will work, but only on RedHat or RedHat-based distros. A more generic manipulation of the firewall rules that would work on any Linux distro would be: iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT iptables -F This will first set the policies on the input, output and forward chains to accept all packets and then flush any currently established rules leaving only the ACCEPT all packet policy for each chain. Flushing the rules is last incase one is doing this remotely - we don't want to flush the rules first leaving only the default DROP or REJECT default policies. :) (ask me how I know... lol!) I'd then follow that up with a comment to "...check your specific distro's documentation for a more permanent solution to disable your firewall" I only bring this up since I am one of the crazies who have decided to run LTSP on Gentoo. A land where RedHat rules don't apply. :) Hope this helps and I hope it as received in the spirit in which it was written.
