For configuring iptables on Linux, I've had good luck with Guarddog.
Pretty simple to use, yet seems quite complete. I tried using
firestarter back when I was using Suse, but never could quite get the
hang of it. It was probably from the fact that that was my first foray
into firewalls, and I was clueless about the different options, and what
it all meant. (Not to say that much has changed on my part even now !)

I also use fwbuilder on my Linksys router, mainly because it supports,
and has a pre-configured firewall for, custom Sveasoft firmware running
way-stripped down version of Linux on the router.

HTH,
John
