Stop iptables in linux:
Like windows linux also have firewall(iptables). Iptables are started by default when switch on the linux machine.
In some cases whenever we like to veiw our ip in other machine, we need to stop our firewall(ie.iptables).
Stop iptables(Turn off Linux Firewall):
* Go to terminal and,
[root@localhost /]# /etc/init.d/iptables stop
To start iptables:
* Go to terminal and,
[root@localhost /]# /etc/init.d/iptables start
