You should be able to find loads of information on the web, including some examples that will be almost exactly what you need. Might I suggest a couple of links that I have bookmarked and find very useful (beware the line wrapping): Iptables tutorial http://people.unix-fu.org/andreasson/iptables-tutorial/iptables-tutorial.html Rusty's official packet filtering howto http://www.iptables.org/documentation/HOWTO/packet-filtering-HOWTO.html The second one in particular should have you up and running in no time, the first link is good for more complicated operations and to get a better understanding of how it actually all works. Good luck, Lucas
