Your Server

Help me with Linux firewall please!?

I'm accessing fedora 8 dedicated server (by SSH)and needed to turn off the firewall for testing.I already turned off the firewall by using the command 'service iptables stop' But it still seems to be blocking the port i wanted to access. (port 10000 actually, of webmin). I found out that it accepts port 80. And i can connect to it using the following: http://localhost:10000 http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000 (which is static ip address) http://127.0.0.1:10000 Help please...

1. see if iptables is blocking by issuing iptables -L if you see 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 then it is not due to iptables the problem is elsewhere but if you see some thing more than this then issue the command iptables -F it will flush all the current running iptables chain
