But really this should only be done in the context of a complete firewall setup. The above is very open. I suggest you look for good advice on building/configuring an iptables firewall on the net. There is probably already good info on the WLUG website/wiki. There are some simple and some sophisticated GUI tools out there that will help. Eg, Firewall Builder (www.fwbuilder.org).
Debian (and I guess therefore Ubuntu has it too) comes with Shorewall which has scripts to set all this up for you. I don't think it has a GUI so you still have to edit files but the documentation is easy to follow and the common cases are well covered. g -- Glenn Ramsey <glenn(a)componic.co.nz> 07 8627077 http://www.componic.co.nz
