As root, if you give the command:
$> iptables -nvL

you will notice that the three chains, INPUT, OUTPUT and FORWARD are all 
set to ACCEPT. In other words, you do not have a firewall unless you 
explicitly install one. You can either install a firewall package, e.g. 
firestarter, or make your own rules and load them at startup.
