How you shut down your firewall depends on your distribution, so, find out your distribution and proceed accordingly.
SUSE
shut down
rcSuSEfirewall2 stop
check
rcSuSEfirewall2 status
Generic
stop your firewall
To stop your firewall issue
iptables --flush
check
To check if your firewall is running, use the command iptables --list. Here's an output that means your firewall is turned off:
iptables --list Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination
If you look at it, you will find that for all incoming packets ("Chain INPUT" entry above), the policy is set to ACCEPT with no exceptions. The same is true for FORWARD and OUTPUT.
