Ok stupid newbie question

[PompeyBlue]

But where is the firewall on FC2 ? I take it there's some kind of .config somewhere, as well as some kind of log ?

Come out, come out, where ever you are

iptables is the the firewall in fc2 but you might want to get a gui for it
here's some info on the subject http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18735

Hey PompeyBlue,

The firewall in Fedora Core 2 is at: system settings > security level

But I use firestarter instead and it works great!!!
Here is the link:

That is correct.

Now for PompeyBlue's sake I would like to point out that this is the recommended firewall for Fedora Core 2 as it is integrated into the system by default and turned on by default. It's also incredibley easy to use for a newbie, with only a limited amount of choice of what to let in or out through the firewall. For example to allow access to a webserver on your PC.

As a newbie it is not advised to go tinkering with an alternative type of firewall. Wait until your more experienced with Linux, you shouldn't rush things. Otherwise you may get burnt.

I also vote to use Firestarter for a more complex firewall.
