i have been reading around how to set up iptables to act as a firewall
at the moment i have a very basic NAT script which works on boot up and allows my other computers to access the internet through a gateway box

i would like to incoperate this into the nessacery firewall script

my question is when i write the script does it matter where i put the 'filter' section and the 'nat' parts or does the position in the script make no difference??


regards
