Just want to say thanks to Rick for recommending firestarter!
You're welcome!
It was easy to download and install, and more importantly, it has
allowed me to configure a firewall, and easily let through NFS traffic
from my wife's computer! Finally!
People who have come from Windows, using ZoneAlarm, should check out
Firestarter in Fedora Core.
Oh, and thanks to the firestarter developers for creating a most useful
and simple tool!

I'm glad it worked for you, Mitch. There are other, similar GUI
iptables manipulators available, I'm just most familar with FireStarter.
A search at sourceforge.net will net a bunch of them as will a google
search with "iptables +gui".
You should send your kudos to the FireStarter development team as well.
Nothing makes an open source contributor happier than a rave review and
pat on the back--except, perhaps, a lot of cash! ;-)
