This enables you to control the security for internet connections configuring one central machine. Once you know how netfilter works and how you control it using iptables your can set up a firewall with stateful inspection. See http://fedoranews.org/ghenry/gateway for setting up the Fedora machine as the central gateway behind the cable modem and in front of the other LAN hosts.
