The network does come back after we restart the network. Does restarting network manipulates the iptables policy?

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.
