If you feel more comfortable with graphical tools, simply run setup and goto system services and uncheck iptables, ipchains and ip6tables. If you like the command line, type: service iptables stop and then you can turn it on/off in certain runlevels using chkconfig by typing: chkconfig 0123456 iptables off and you can alternatively see if things are off/on by typing: chkconfig --list SERVICENAME ; where SERVICENAME is iptables, ipchains or ip6tables and it will tell you which runlevels it's on or off. If you run in graphical mode, you run in runlevel 5, otherwise you run in runlevel 3. If you want it off, turn it off in all runlevels. HTH ===== Kevin C.
