Possibly you mean

# service iptables stop

and

# chkconfig iptables off

to keep it from coming back on the next reboot.

Setting eth0 as a trusted device (comment 33 in BZ 133064) is
essentially the same as turning off the firewall if that is your only
interface.  Good firewall rules would be preferable, unless you REALLY
trust your hardware firewall.  Which begs the question - what is a good
firewall tool for FC3?  Have been unable to get firestarter to work.
Compiles, but hangs when executed.
