The firewall configuration is set to 'High'. When I change it to Customize or 'none' and click 'ok', I then confirm it by clicking 'Yes' I'm sure when the confirmation window comes up.

The problem is that the settings don't stick. They are not saved!

I'd really like to access 'cups' printing from workstation but cannot get there. I instead have to do it from the server console. I copy files to the server everyday, as well as print, so I know the machines communicate ok.

Thanks for any assistance...

Hi,

I don't use rh8. but it might be because your ipchains/iptables are running. Since I don't run the GUI/lokkit I can't help you through that. However, if you are root you can go to the shell and run ntsysv and stop the "ipchains" option and then close make your changes and save then run "service network restart". You could also run the command /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains stop and /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains start when making changes.

ipchains is not running, or even listed.
IPtables is running. I read that the two are not compatible. However, the install program default was used and ipchains is not in the list.

Also , I have been logged in a 'Root' everytime.

thanks..for the effort
