Clarence,

Get a copy of the 'IP Filter Based Firewalls HOWTO' at:

  http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf/ipf-howto.txt

This is a very good tutorial on setting up IP filter, and much better than
reading the sample filters. This document is fairly easy reading and in no
time you should be able to create your own ipf.conf file.

Good luck.

Brian
