OT: building a new MS machine and stuck at the firewall

Hi Billy,

 You have a few options:

 1) type 'setup' as root and disable the firewall from there
 2) type 'service iptables stop', and 'chkconfig iptables off' (this disabled the firewall startup script)
 3) for a temporary removal until next reboot, type 'iptables -F' (this flushes out the iptables rules)


 Cheers,
