- delete /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0
- prior setting up firewalling rules using iptables stop all unnecessary
services using server $SERVICE stop and chkconfig
- learn about iptables on www.netfilter.org
- Fedora stores iptables rules in /etc/sysconfig/iptables
- if you want a "klick solution" you might have a look at fwbuilder, but
be aware to understand what you are setting
