[wellylug] Router/Firewall

I need to set up a simple Router/Firewall between two networks here at
work. I'm thinking a simple Linux box (either Debian or Gentoo) then just
the appropriate ipchains/iptales commands to send the material between the
networks.
The only thing that is eluding me is how to get iptables to forward the
specific port between networks, and only that port. The port is 5902 and
lets assume that the networks are 1.2.3.0 and 6.7.8.0 - can someone help
me out with the appropriate iptables/ipchains commands... as I'm at a loss
on this one! (I think that with Debian ipchains is my only option? And I
can't seem to get the Kernel to support either in Gentoo at the
moment!!!).

Sorry folks, its been one of those days!

Cheers

Jamie
