Turn of firewall?

How do I turn the firewall of in Mandrake community 10.1?

well are you using iptables or ipchains?

I don't know.. how do I find out?

If it's MDK10.1, then it's a 2.6.* kernel. IPchains has been deprecated since 2.2.* (IIRC). Therefore, you can turn off the firewall as follows (as root):

Code:

---

/sbin/iptables -F
/sbin/iptables -X
/sbin/iptables -Z

/sbin/iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT

---

There's also a graphical way to do this, but I don't know it (nor do I really care to :wink:). If it can't be done on CLI, it's not worth being done. 8)

Yu can disable the firewall graphically using Mandrake Control Center. It's in the network settings section and I believe it's security or something like that.
