You shouldn't have to do that. That you had to do this suggests that you don't have your firewall service(s) (iptables and optionally ip6tables) turned on. You generally want them turned on as soon as you turn on networking. You can see whether on this is true using chkconfig, such as: [bruno@wolff ~]$ chkconfig --list iptables iptables 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off If it isn't on for levels 2, 3, 4, and 5 you can change this using: chkconfig --levels 2345 iptables on Because the supplied init script specifies that this service is supposed to be used in levels 2, 3, 4 and 5 when it is running, you should be able to simplify the above to: chkconfig iptables on -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
