Can't ping or login to LMCE server.

We first installed Kubuntu-0810 in a Dell G280 with 2 NICs, everything works fine for either ping outside of this Linux server or ping this server from outside. After installed LMCE-0810, the ping/ssh to Linux Server did NOT have response, but ping/ssh to outside from this Linux server still can work. Has anyone encounter such problem? and any comments?

Thanks,
Eric

due to firewall configuration, you will not be able to ssh or ping in from the external network without turning on the appropriate firewall rules in advanced > network > firewall

Internal machines should be able to ssh to 192.168.80.1, just fine, though.

Thanks, Thom!
Yes, it's really caused by firewall rule. It works fine once I disabled firewall in WebAdmin

oh dear god!

DON'T DO THAT!

SET UP YOUR NETWORK CORRECTLY! PLEASE!!!

Read the FAQ again, and if you need access to port 22, add a firewall rule, disabling the firewall is a _VERY BAD IDEA!_
