firewall?

[stinkoman]

I tried to install RCtycoon with wine, but it said my firewall wouldnt allow it? i dont remember putting up any firewalls... any help?

Some distros create a firewall by default. Go to root and type iptables -L. If you do have a firewall running, this will list the rules it uses.

[stinkoman]

this is what it says:

root@Linux_Box:/home/stinkoman# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
root@Linux_Box:/home/stinkoman#

No, you don't have a firewall on your machine. Maybe there is one on the server you are using to connect to the Internet. For example, when I use a computer in my local public library, I can't download any software because the network won't allow it.

which version of WINE are u using? i think it's a wine issue, some games have downgrades. See wine FAQ

Also, if you're connecting to the Net via a router. the router might have its own firewall onboard. Usually you would set that up yourself, but it's still possible.
