If your requirements are fairly simple (typical SOHO network), try
firestarter. The GUI is actually useful.

From the RPM:

Name   : firestarter
Arch   : i386
Version: 1.0.3
Release: 11.fc5
Size   : 1.3 M
Repo   : extras
Summary: Firewall tool for GNOME
Description:
 Firestarter is an easy-to-use, yet powerful, Linux firewall tool for GNOME.
Use it to quickly set up a secure environment using the firewall creation
wizard, or use it's monitoring and administrating features with your old
firewall scripts.
