How to disable iptables during startup?

mibadt · 2009-10-03 11:15:41

Hi,
My formerly working, fully updated Arch, stopped acquiring dynamic IP address during boot (DHCP sever OK).
I guess that's related to my trying to configure iptables before last shutdown.
How can I (temporarily) reconfigure the system to start with iptables NOT running (or having an empty rule set) to verify my assumption?

Best Regards,

Michael Badt

Removing 'iptables' from DAEMONS array in rc.conf will prevent your rule set being loaded. This will leave you with the default rule set which is to allow everything.

Thanks,
It turns out iptables is NOT running (dos NOT appear in the DAEMONS section).
Yet,
when rebooting eth0 still doesn't get a dynamic IP address. (My PC and network are fine. Same setup boots fine and gets IP address using a live CD).
I can repeat that error by running as root the /etc/rc.d/network restart.

Please advise.

Thanks

iptables is not a real daemon. iptables is the user interface to the kernels netfilter system. The init script runs a bunch of iptables commands and then exits.

You're better to start a new thread for this problem since it's not an iptables issue.... I don't have any suggestions, sorry.

Solved, indeed was an iptables problem.

etognoni, if you're having networking problems, please open a new thread, this one is four years old and no longer relevant.
