Hi Everybody?
I am using redhat 9.0. I recently installed it. During Installation I unfortunately installed Firewall with High security so in the result, after Installation no network activity can be performed. Would any body please tell me how to reconfigure the firewall? I tried it from kickstart and it has made a kc.log file in my root folder. The further steps I don,t know.
help me please

There's two ways you can disable/reconfigure your firewall:

1) try going to the menu (redhat icon) then click system settings, then click the security icon, enter your root password and this should pop open the firewall config window.
(note: typing /usr/bin/system-config-securitylevel into the command prompt will also bring up this window)

2) If you just want to disable the firewall you can type (as root)

service iptables stop
