Firewall/Port Problem

["Cynthia Blue" <lucyblue xmission com>]

I was wondering if Firestarter would clash with Guarddog in any way. I
recently installed Guarddog. Unfortunately, I suspect someone cracked my
system last night, as all ports are now disabled and I don't know how to
enable any of them again.  Maybe I can do something with Firestarter.. I'm
very new to Linux, trying to understand everything going on...

With my server... last night I opened port 25 (ftp), already had 80, 21 and
110 open. This morning, only 23 was open (telnet).  I closed down 23, but
now can't get anything else open again.  :(

Thanks,
Cynthia
