If you really want to learn something about firewalls, pick up a copy of 
  Bob Toxen's book, 'Real World Linux Security' and read it from one end 
to the other.  My second choice of security books is 'Linux Firewalls' 
by Robert Ziegler.  Between these two books, you can build your own home 
grown, rock solid firewall.

If you're looking for the quick solution, download Smoothwall 3.0 and 
you'll have a firewall going faster then it took you to burn the disk.
