But please let it be clear that this is not the way you leave it! As soon as you've logged on you 'service ipchains start' again. When you've seen that lowering your shields lets you access the service, then configure the firewalls corresponding to what you need - as Alan pointed out, with 'lokkit' if you don't like to write your ipchains rules yourself.
