Linux and iptables

Linux and iptables

[willem]

Hello,
I have a kubuntu system with a firestarter Firewall.
I did purchase a Sweex router. This router has also a firewall.
If I connect the router then i have two Firewalls.
The result is that no visitor from outside can visit my wiki's, because 
they have to pass 2 Firewalls.

How can I disable the firestarter Firewall with iptables ?
The Sweex router has a Mikkisoft Firewall , so I do not know anything 
about it and I can not disable it.

regards  Wim

This has nothing to do with the number of firewalls but with their
configuration. There's absolutely nothing wrong in having 2 or more
firewalls.

You're clearly not on the right mailing list for this. This is the
linux KERNEL mailing list, which talks about kernel development.
There may be hundreds of ways to disable (or configure) your
firewall but it is not here that you'll find useful help.

Check the vendor's site and/or forums, you should find more help there.
