RE: Iptables flushing hangs the network

Yeah your default policy is set to drop. Don't flush the rules just restart
iptables or set the policy to accept before you flush. And wash your hands
afterward.

Dear friends:

We are running iptables version 1.2.7a-2 on Linux version 2.4.20-20.9.
We see a problem with the iptables --flush command. After we flush the
filter chain network hangs. We need to go into the server room to
restart the network.

Any ideas?

Regards.
