If the Monmotha scripts (see below) don't work, there is a good chance
that you may not have all the necessary iptable and NAT stuff compiled
into your kernel.
Is your's a custom kernel or the default Redhat one?

I found the Monmotha firewall script very easy to set up. Its available
here:
http://monmotha.mplug.org/firewall/index.php
Its basically a shell script with some configuration stuff at the top
and a whole bunch of stuff below that should be ignored :-).
