The Drastic Way is "/etc/init.d/iptables stop" or "ipchains stop" did you happen to configure a firewall yourself? But the best solution is to figure out where your firewall is configured, and comment any references in the script to logging: # iptables -A INPUT -i $INTERNET -f -j LOG --log-prefix "LOG: " look in your /var/log/boot.log for references to ipchains, iptables, or firewalls. -- \ \/ / _ |~\ _ In God We Trust.
