webmin

When I run $ sudo iptables -L

This is what I get

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
REJECT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            tcp dpt:www flags:FIN,SYN,RST,ACK/SYN #conn/32 > 20 reject-with tcp-reset

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

What does this mean? I am pretty new to the whole Ubuntu world. I cannot access webmin at times, keep getting The connection has timed out error.

I've recently installed Webmin on a Ubuntu server but I can't get it to work. I asked a recent question about saving iptables but it turns out you don't need to "save" iptables changes. Anyway, I still can't get Webmin working after opening the port up: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10000… >>> More
