If you want to stop firewalling completely, i always use /sbin/service iptables stop Just to be safe, I did /sbin/service iptables stop, it reported that it was already stopped. The output of /sbin/iptables -L is here http://www.perlconsultant.net/fc3/iptables.txt > also, if you do /sbin/ifconfig, do you just get lo? or even eth0? what ip-adresses can you see? Just 127.0.0.1? /sbin/ifconfig just produces lo, unless I configure /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0 with information for a static IP, then that static IP shows up as eth0 when doing a /sbin/ifconfig, but even though it shows up, I'm not able to do anything on any port. > also, do 'locate dhclient' - do you find those files: > > /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.leases I do find these files, but there is nothing in them.
