Can anyone tell me why IPTables is blocking and queries sent to my dns port (53)? IT works fine when i turn off IPTables. Here is the config file

# Firewall configuration written by lokkit

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks

you seem to be on a redhat machine. this is in /etc/sysconfig/iptables.

iptables-save >iptables.txt

in iptables.txt before any line that contains udp

insert

iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT


and then iptables-restore < iptables.txt

If this wrks, you can make changes permanent : iptables-save >/etc/sysconfig/iptables

nm

Ok, thanks. One thing, when you say before any line that contains UDP, do you mean, just one instance of that line, or insert it before EVERY line with UDP in it?
