Yeah your default policy is set to drop. Don't flush the rules just restart iptables or set the policy to accept before you flush. And wash your hands afterward. -----Original Message----- From: Ravi Verma [mailto:ravi.verma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, January 30, 2004 2:47 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Iptables flushing hangs the network Dear friends: We are running iptables version 1.2.7a-2 on Linux version 2.4.20-20.9. We see a problem with the iptables --flush command. After we flush the filter chain network hangs. We need to go into the server room to restart the network. Any ideas? Regards.
