Ah, good!

This has nothing to do with firewalling, more modem/network config,
but the firewall script is a convenient place to sort it all out.

Rusty Russell's unreliable guides are a good source of info - see
http://netfilter.samba.org/ , and Jay of Mandrake/Bastille Linux fame
has written a couple of articles and a tutorial which can be found at
http://www.securityportal.com/articles/netfilter20010219.html.

I can send you my iptables config if you're interested, feel free to
throw any questions at me too.

Cheers.

Baz.
