I use webmin, and it is perfect for beginners (http://www.webmin.com/)
It's simple to use, and runs through your client's web-browser.
You can navigate to network->Linux firewall, and add a rule in your filters input table.


If you wont try webmin, i suggest reading 'man iptables'

much more comfortable using vi to edit config files, I have been looking
for the config file(s) to edit. My ultimate aim is to enable this intranet
box to act as a web server and an intranet mail server, as well as accept
ftp (Dreamweaver, to update the web pages) and PuTTY ssh connections (my
student users). Which config file(s) must I edit, and does it (do they)
contain enough guidance in their comments to enable me to intelligently
configure my server?
