Not being factitious, but unless you have oodles of time/experience,
straight configuration of iptables is a beast. Better to use something
like shorewall. It doesn't replace iptables, but rather writes
configuration scripts for iptables. Put this together with
webmin(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.webmin.com">http://www.webmin.com</a>) and you have a powerful, relatively easy
setup for all of your firewalling needs, including masquerading, port
forwarding, etc...<br>

However, I cannot seem to locate the file /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall-* as
indicated in the instructions. I am running the latest Debian 'stable'
and my Debian box (a Sun U5) is set to the DMZ to take care of all
incoming traffic. I basically want to have it redirect traffic from
certain ports (such as 24554, 23, etc) to my Windoze box while leaving
the services that the Debian box available to the world.

/etc/rc.d doesn't exist in Debian. Look at the following two files:
<br>
<br>
/etc/init.d/iptables
<br>
/etc/default/iptables<br>
