Just disable the firewall (service iptables stop)? That's what I do anyway. IMNSHO, these days the firewall is a relic from the 1990's era. It breaks at least mDNS (e.g. .local name resolution), gnome-user-share, banshee/rhythmbox etc. music sharing. I also think we should also disable the firewall for the desktop spin.
That's outrageously dangerous.
Please tell us why then. I also disable the firewall services since I don't have any TCP servers listening to the outside world.
