While I will gladly offer you help, I think it is probably not the best plan 
for you to build a firewall for a publicly accessible network as your first 
firewall project.  You should really consider reading up on the iptables and 
firewalling HOWTOs and test this on a lab machine first.  An inexperienced 
user will probably make mistakes, the least results of which will be 
difficulty connecting to the netowork.

What is it you are trying to do?
