I started from beginner and had to teach myself with this...

http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html

There's a few sites out there on the net but this is the best one.  I 
found that it wasn't good enough for me so I got on a jet to New York 
and took the Acela Express to Boston to interview Bob Ziegler who 
then signed a copy of his book for me.  When I came home this was 
published in Linux Magazine.  Anyone wants to read a PDF version of 
this I can mail it to them.  The best book I've seen about iptables 
is "Linux Firewalls - Includes full coverage of iptables" by Robert 
L. Ziegler.  ISBN 0-7357-1099-6.  Published by New Riders.

If you don't quite crack iptables - and some people don't - I'd 
suggest IP Cop or m0n0wall...

http://www.m0n0.ch/wall/

best with Soekris hardware but you can use other things...
