It says high, but this doesn't display what the current setting is -
only what it will set to if you select OK.

Try the simplest way first:  Change the security level to "No firewall",
then run
/etc/init.d/iptables stop
as root, then run
/etc/init.d/sshd start

Then use ssh from windows (NOT telnet!) to connect to your linux box. 
Then once you are sure this works, you can start playing with your
firewall.

For a free ssh client for windows, try either cygwin or putty (there are
many others)

Hope this Helps,

Question: Is it better to abide by the rules until they're changed or
help speed the change by breaking them?
