howto turn of firewall on RH7.1 1

[peterve]

I think I have a firewall issue on my LInux Redhat 7.1... and I want to turn it off because I have an external firewall...

How can I completely turn off the firewall on Linux ?
If I run 'setup' or 'lokkit', the firewall config is always set to 'HIGH', when I set it to 'no firewall' and save,
then quit, and then look again,
it has been reverted to 'HIGH' again ....

Hi,

You should be able to do that by disabling the ipchains service... (as root)

/sbin/chkconfig --level 12345 ipchains off

thanks,

any idea why I still can't traceroute after turning off ipchains ?
I can ping to the external IP,
all the other computers (Win200 and WinNT clients) on the network can traceroute,
but my Linux RH7.1 can't...

All of the clients are using the same gateway... ---------------------------------------------------------------------
