I've never seen the firewalling choices during 7.1's installation....but, I still haven't done the graphical install. however, it's most likely starting in one of your init scripts, so you might want to poke around in there looking for any references to ipchains. hmmmm, Red Hat uses a SysV-style init process, but I think it keeps the scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d/, instead of the usual /etc/init.d/.....but I wouldn't suggest you rm anything in that directory, you can just remove the link in the /etc/rc.d/rc*.d directory to prevent it from being loaded....or if it's part of a larger script, just comment out the offending portions.

the odds are that won't let you connect, though...you're probably going to have to add an entry or two to your /etc/hosts.allow , in order to telnet or ftp in....ummm, could I suggest openssh and sftp?
