Hi, I'm new to iptables and having a problem grasping the concept as well as the syntax. I have read a lot of sites on this but just not getting it. First - running rules. From what I can gather I need to have an rc.firewall file with the various rules and such in it - and have this started at boot. Am I close? Second - the syntax. I want to be able to allow my local LAN full access to the Linux box (Slackware 10). I also have a website which I want to allow everyone - except for a few domains and IP's, SSH which I want to allow only certain IP's or domains, and Samba which I want to allow only my local LAN. This is where I'm really confused putting this all together. If someone could explain this in plain english - or put me on to a really easy iptables for dummies type site, it would be appreciated. This box is behind attached to a Linksys router and does not act as a NAT. It is just a simple little setup on a p166. Thanks
