Do you want to use the security tool in FC4? In KDE it is under the start menu > system settings > security level. There you can open the command ports or add your own in the bottom box.

If you really want to get into it manually then check out http://www.linuxguruz.com/iptables/

In there, there are several links to some pre written scripts or one of the links this one http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ allows you to create a firewall script online by answering the questions.

You can also try firestarter which is a GUI for iptables, if I'm not wrong. It makes things much easier. Just type as root:
Code:
yum install firestarter
Then go to 'System tools > Firestarter' to configure it.
