ok So I'm completly new to linux... I know that with my distribution (Yellow Dog Linux (it's about like red hat for PwerPC's...rpm's etc...) uses iptables

all I need to do is block/reject/deny FTP (21) , HTTPS(443)

or close everything except
HTTP (80)
Proxy junk (3065)
DNS (53)
DHCP (67)
port (111)
webmin (10000)

Can SomeOne please Help Me !!!!!

Try downloading the program FIRESTARTER. It has an easy to use GUI and saves you the mess of learning how to setup IPTABLES manually.

Thanks for the info.. I've firestarter, but unfortunatly the settings it gives doesn't like my nat settings... maybe I'm clueless ???? or maybe it has issues with YDL (yellow Dog 2.3)
any other ideas

P.S. are you saying I should keep my printer on the other server LOL ;-)

here's the answer I got and it worked... (this is my IPTABLES)
#script is Arkmannj's usual free linux licences apply

*nat
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [37:4907]
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [4:292]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [4:292]
[0:0] -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
COMMIT


*filter
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m multiport --ports 21,22,23,443 -j DROP

FOR THOSE OF YOU IN LDSBC THE ABOVE IS NOT YOUR KEY TO VICTORY.. I HAVE POSTED THIS NOW BECAUSE THE PROJECT HAS CHANGED NOW THAT I HAVE SPENT MANY MANY HOURS COMING UP WITH HOW TO GET THIS TO WORK (FIGURED IT OUT ACCORDING TO THE PROJECT DESCRIPTION about 2 10 AM ONLY TO HAVE THE PROJECT CHANGED TODAY . . . BUT IF YOU THINK THIS WILL HELP THEN I GUESS MORE POWER TO YA. . .

you can disable firestarter own setting and place your own settings
