This rule will reject all the ingress activities: "REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited" You can try: iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 5900:6100 -j ACCEPT to allow console access.

How can I either A) disable Iptables all together / b add a rule to allow it's access. Right now, it has this: [root@lunder ~]# iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:bootps ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:bootps ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpts:49152:49216 ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpts:vnc-server:synchronet-db ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:16509 ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:websm ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:8250 ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:empowerid ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:webcache ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:ssh REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination [root@lunder ~]# But there was plenty of other rules previously to my stopping it.
