[ILUG] Home network

[Smith, Graham - Computing Technician]

try running

ipchains -F

That will flush out any rules being used (but they may be re-instated after
a
reboot etc).

That might be worth running "/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains stop" in case there
is any error
with those scripts there.

About.com and whatis.com are pretty good for looking up stuff on IPs and
other technical
stuff.

Unless I've managed to confuse myself, hosts.deny is empty and
hosts.allow has a line like "ALL: 10.10.10.10" (speaking of which,
any guidelines for using "private" IP addresses?).
