You might try this site:
http://linux-firewall-tools.com/linux/firewall/index.html it asks you a
bunch of configuration questions and then generates an ipchains script. I
haven't used the one it generated for me yet as my DSL won't be installed
until next week. But I plan on trying the firewall as soon as my DSL is up
and running.
If you use it let me know how it works please.
