[LUNI] Network help please

[Javier Salazar]

I still can't get to the how-to pages.  However, I looked at the
settings
for the firewall.  It is set to "High".  I tried changing it to "Medium"
by using the "Security Level" option.  After making the modification, I 
checked again, and it was still setting at "High".  I then I took a look
at the man pages for iptables.  Since I saw that the file is created by
"lokkit", I tried changing it from within "lokkit".  Same result.

Help please
