      Hi,
      You can make use of the command “ipchains”

      example:
      ipchains -A input -i eth1 -s 166.13.0.0/16 -j reject
      ipchains -A input -d 192.168.5.1 25 -j accept
      ipchains -A input -d 192.168.5.5 80 -j accept

      or u can make use of some third party firewall packages.
