Netfilter is the kernel level framework for packet manipulation, etc.
beginning with kernel 2.4. Iptables is the user level set of programs that
allow you to set up "tables" that determine which packets get in or out of
your box. 

For all theing to do with netfilter/iptables, head over to:

http:://www.netfilter.org

A cruise through the various tutorials in the Documentation section there 
is worthwhile.
