So at last I again did the following: [root@localhost ~]# mv /etc/sysconfig/iptables.old.saved /etc/sysconfig/iptables.old [root@localhost ~]# mv /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables.old.saved /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables.old And also, [root@localhost ~]# mv /etc/sysconfig/iptables.saved /etc/sysconfig/iptables [root@localhost ~]# mv /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables.saved /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables To undo the previous commands, its really amazing why is this happening?
