Having never set one up before and only having a little knowledge of linux where can I go to get a basic tutorial that just covers firewalls and linux.
http://www.linuxguruz.org/iptables/howto/iptables-HOWTO.html http://www.google.com/search?q=iptables+howto Search on freshmeat.net for firewall building tools. Or if you want to try out OpenBSD, there is a pf HOWTO on deadly.org If you want to get really funky, look on samag for dead firewall. Thats a shutdown Linux box running as a firewall.
I know there are a million pages of text out there on linux and firewalls but i am under a slight time constraint and need a step by step with explanations or something similar for now. Any1 know of any sites or texts to get that would do this?
Use one of the automated tools, or use webmin. http://www.webmin.com Ensure it listens to an internal ip only, use the host control and a firewalling ruleset.
