if u see ssh login screen in xp box, this means u dont need to configure iptables. u may need to configure ssh server. check its configuration.
www.netfilter.org the offical web site of iptables. but its not easy to learn iptables. u beter search iptables scripts. and try to understand it. iptables is great tool wihch can do NAT, port NAT, firewall, port redirection... it allows us to do what in our mind. because of this it is not basic.
u really dont need firewall for linux box in this situation. but if u think to share internet via linux. visit www.iptables-script.dk . u also may prefer squid cache proxy server to increase performans.
why doesnt mobassir ask questions about iptables in this post? we are talking about iptables.
remeber i dont have to help u nor mobassir.

Rep:
If i log in via XP using PuTTY i get access NO
but it does open up, i enter root then it checks i think then ask for pass then i get the error.
When using WinSCP3 I make a new session then enter IP user root and password then another little box pop's up asking for password ( 'root@192.168.1.28session password' ) is what the box is. I enter the pass again then get another little pop up saying ( Auth Failed )
here is my log file.
#cat /var/log/messages | grep sshd
May 13 09:35:34 localhost sshd(pam_unix)[12471]: session opened for user root by (uid=0)
May 13 09:35:59 localhost sshd(pam_unix)[12471]: session closed for user root
May 13 12:41:30 localhost sshd(pam_unix)[13033]: session opened for user root by (uid=0)
and ssh_conf
#cat /etc/ssh/ssh_config
