Hi,

I am using OEL5.0.The following are contents of iptables.

# Firewall configuration written by system-config-securitylevel
# Manual customization of this file is not recommended.
*filter

I am using ipmessenger by installing through wine.In IpMessenger,I cant see other users.So I opened the corresnponding port 2425 in iptables.After do this, whenever I restart the iptables service, I receive the following error.But IPmessenger is working fine.

Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ]
Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ]
Unloading iptables modules: [ OK ]
Applying iptables firewall rules: iptables-restore: line 20 failed
[FAILED]

Can anybody please let me know the issue?
