Subject: Re: attach XP computer to network fror printing
I was just making it identical to the Mint computer but it still didn't
make it print. I'm looking through iptanles man-page amd wsd thinkimg that
perhaps I should put in a 'persistent' rule or a '--to-destination rule?
OKAY.... disable iptables.... how is that done? I can't find it in the
manpage nor does anything I try work (iptables disable.....).

how do I delete the ufw rules that were inserted into theptable when I was
playing with it? Well I know you iptable -D <rule number> but it isn't
working.
bmike1@Michaels-PC:~$ sudo iptables -D output 24 25 26 27 28 29
Bad argument `25'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
