This is just a general post for people reading this thread, not
directed at anymody.
firestarter is a good easy to use gui firewall configuration tool for
those that have poked holes (or disabled) the firewall set up by
Anaconda.
firestarter will also set up NAT for you if you so desire.
To test your firewall -

Keep in mind that a firewall will not protect you from exploits in
ports you have open to the public, which is why you should block as
much as possible.
Firestarter is available in Fedora.us for FC2
I have a rebuild of the Fedora.us firestarter src.rpm for FC3 at
http://mpeters.us/yum/fedora/3/i386/RPMS.yjl/ (it's just the FC2
src.rpm rebuilt with rpmbuild --rebuild )
