Just disable the firewall (service iptables stop)? That's what I do
anyway. IMNSHO, these days the firewall is a relic from the 1990's era.
It breaks at least mDNS (e.g. .local name resolution), gnome-user-share,
banshee/rhythmbox etc. music sharing. I also think we should also
disable the firewall for the desktop spin.
That's outrageously dangerous. And given how little experience you have
maintaining systems or networks I'd say your opinion is very humble
indeed.
Please don't give dangerous and costly advice like this.
