How are you trying to open it? Adding "port:protocol" in system-config-securitylevel works nicely for me. (For example, for BitTorrent, I opened up 6881:tcp and 6881:udp.)

The old system-config-security does that. Either 1) update your system or 2) manually edit /etc/sysconfig/system-config-securitylevel

Open a terminal then run "su -" to become root. As root, run "yum update" and then once you're ready to update, type 'y' and it will automatically download/install the updates for you.

Open a terminal again, and try running the command as you did. Then please post the exact error here. (You can copy and paste from the terminal by highlighting the text to copy it then middle-clicking your mouse to paste that text, either by clicking the wheel if it has one or by clicking the left and right mouse buttons at the same time.)
