Why any user would want to start off with iptables when the examples
provided point to several far easier and more comprehensive methods of
handling those rules is beyond me. Stock answer to anyone who wants to muck

aptitude install shorewall
Until you got that down pat you've no business poking directly with
iptables directly IMHO.
