1. Find out if you've got iptables or ipchains.
lsmod | grep -E 'iptables|ipchains'
2. Do a chains/tables listing (as appropriate)
ip(table|chain)s -L
Actually I just did that and I can't make much sense out of the
result, but maybe you can :)
3. Find out what script is being run that sets all the rules. On my
computer, I have an rc.firewall in my /etc/rc.d directory -- but I put
it there, following instructions I found at http://ipmasq.cjb.net/ , a
pretty good site about this stuff.
4. As someone else mentioned, shut down ipwhatever temporarily, see if
that solves the problem. Finding the script mentioned in part 3 is
helpful towards this, as you can use it to figure out how to turn off
the filtering.
All I can think of. Many reading this will probably quickly figure out
I'm not an expert in this.
