The output of the command:
[root@localhost ~]# ls -al /etc/sysconfig/ip*
is:
-rw-------. 1 root root  784 2010-07-07 14:40 /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables
-rw-------. 1 root root 1776 2010-07-07 14:40 /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables-config

/etc/sysconfig/ip6tables-config.old
-rw-------. 1 root root  481 2010-07-06 16:52 /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables.old
-rw-------. 1 root root  742 2010-07-07 14:40 /etc/sysconfig/iptables

Run both the two commands.
[root@localhost ~]# mv /etc/sysconfig/iptables.old
/etc/sysconfig/iptables.old.saved
[root@localhost ~]# mv /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables.old
/etc/sysconfig/ip6tables.old.saved

Saved like this:
[root@localhost ~]# mv /etc/sysconfig/iptables /etc/sysconfig/iptables.saved
[root@localhost ~]# mv /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables.saved

Restarted the Firewall from there after providing the root
credentials, but frankly speaking, there is the same screen without
any warning message.

No warning message here!! The same blank screen of the firewall!!

So how to proceed? 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?
