As others have said, edit /etc/selinux/config as root & set to
permissive as opposed to enforcing & then reboot for the changes to take
effect.

It's not a good idea to disable it completely due to the kernel & labels
& so on but if you're on a home network on a private LAN behind a NAT
router, setting permissive shouldn't cause you any security problems.

Cheers,
