RE: Iptables flushing hangs the network

["Ravi Verma" <ravi verma telecommand com>]

The network does come back after we restart the network. Does restarting
network manipulates the iptables policy?

Regards.

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.
