Topic: Disable Firewall

[brookes]

All,

I'm having problems with a piece of Proxy software and I want to disable the firewall to rule it out as an issue. Is there a single command to do this?

I have tried some iptables commands that seemed appropriate but didn't work. I am new to Linux and I want to get my broadband working.

Cheers

Stephan.

Changing your configuration to Server only mode will turn off the firewall. It's very dangerous to do this if you connect the box directly to the Internet though, you should have another firewall between the box and the Internet or you will get hacked real quick.

Ray,

Problem is it's a one-way satellite connection meaning I still need the modem connection. I tried a iptables -F and that basically stopped the gateway functions I could no longer get to my server?

Can anyone help?
