hi Ben, I've been having problems where I cant ping, ssh, or view webpages from my server from the local LAN at work. I thought it might be the firewall causing this. I don't know if I disabled it correctly but I went to setup and unchecked iptables and rebooted, then ran that the command I stated earlier and didn't see any rules so I assumed it worked. My problem still occurs so I guess the firewall wasn't the problem after all.
