[ale] RedHat 8.0 new install access problems

[Armsby John-G16665]

Ok......

Telnet and ftp work.....  I had to explicitly bring in the RPMs.....Hooray!

apache isccessible only from the box.  I can not telnet xxx.xxx.xx.x:80 I get a connection failed.
I ran the script to shut down iptables.  I manually set up the host name when I configured the box.  The host name is in the httpd.conf file.  Regardless of host name i can not put in the ip address in a browser on another box and have apache dish out the page.  ipaddress, localhost, 127.0.0.1, "xena" all work only on the box.

What is the next step?

By default, all those service you listed are turned off. They are
controlled by xinetd.

/etc/xinetd.d/*

change the line "disabled = yes" to no for each service you want running
from xinetd and restart xinetd :
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

The old default days of "run everything after installation" are gone. 

Apache will not run without a name for the box. As your box is a dhcp
client, the name in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf will not match `hostname`
so it will only talk to localhost.

I attempted to select custom and allow everything in.  NO luck.  I went into the configuration and stopped the IPtables service.  No luck.  I rebooted.  Did not see iptables during startup.  Went into services and IP tables remains unchecked.
