Hi,

I have Fedora Core 5 installed on an x86 desktop machine. I want to
open port 8080 in my firewall. So I logged in as a normal user, went
to the start menu, selected "System", "Administration", and "Security
Level and Firewall", entering in the root password along the way. When
the popup box appeared, I opened up the "Other Ports" section and added
8080. Then I clicked "OK" but the popup didn't close. I clicked OK
several times. Then I clicked the "X" to close. When I went back the
setting had not been saved.

What must I do to open port 8080?

vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables
/etc/init.d/iptables restart
.
