If you're booting directly into X-windows, you'll be loading into what
is technically "init 5", whereas, non-x-windows, or console mode, is
"init 3". Knowing this, open a console window and as root (using "su -")
type:
chkconfig --list.
You will see something similar to this:
[johnseth at system johnseth]$ su -
Password:
[root at system root]# chkconfig --list

Note the rows of #'s followed by "on" or "off". Look for one of two
things, 'ipchains' or 'iptables'. Assuming RH installed correctly, it
should list 'iptables'. In your case, look for that entry, and scan
across to #5. If it's similar to mine (above), iptables is set to 'on',
and you see "5:on". To turn it off, type (still as root):
service iptables off
Next, type the following:
cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/
ls
(look for something named S##iptables, mine is S08iptables)
mv S08iptables K08iptables
(change the "S" to a "K")
ls
There should now be K##iptables. Now iptables will not start on bootup.
Using 'setup' RedHat will always try to get you to reset your firewall
to "High"... it doesn't reflect any changes you made, at least not on my
RH 9 system (which I'm using now).
Also, in addition to what the others have set, you may also try adding
"domain buf.adelphia.net" to the /etc/resolv.conf file. Example:
[root at dhcp-124-6 joe]# cat /etc/resolv.conf
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search buf.adelphia.net
domain buf.adelphia.net
nameserver 68.168.224.162
nameserver 68.168.224.165
I hope that helps.
