    The best way to do this quickly if your just test is to run:


    Code:
    /etc/init.d/iptables save
    and then

    Code:
    /etc/init.d/iptables save


    If you just run stop it will flush the rules out of the system and cause all kinds of headaches. It will give you a status update once you do this, so don’t worry, should look like this:

    Code:
     
/etc/init.d/iptables stop
Flushing firewall rules:                                   [  OK  ]
Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter                    [  OK  ]
Unloading iptables modules:                                [  OK  ]
