What distro are you using? If it's RH7.2 it has a gui firewall tool built, also check http://freshmeat.net

As far as dhcp ip being assigned? You need some kind
of dynamic DNS update tool, what why would be to use
a service like http://www.dyndns.org

Blocking of cetrain ports from hosts comes in to the hosts.deny file. At least thats whut i remember from about 3 years ago. RH4.0 heh.

It seem to me that hosts.deny and hosts.allow can be made to do the same thing depending are how you set them up:

hosts.deny:
ALL : ALL EXCEPT LOCAL
or
ALL : EXECPT mylan.net

Would only allow access to that one "box" from internal
network called mylan.net
