thx for your pointless input. i have no issue with telling what i have done (even i did something wrong), as most honest i am as better other people could help and give thems input (and visa-verse). i do such jobs quite a long time and i know when to activate the firewall. because my network config isnt complete yet and i do not fully understand the firewall yet (datacenter level, node level and VM level) i do not use it and therefore i didnt activate it. anyway, at least i could smile 1 secound about your first part of your post.
