Learning Iptables from scratch

Is there another resource apart from Netfilter.org and Andreasson?
I have some knowledge of TCP/IP, but not much Linux, which Andreasson
assumes you have.
I can write rulesets which seem to work, but I'd like to understand
them a little more. Any pointers?
Thanks,

Jay

What's wrong with the tutorials on netfilter.org? Are you missing
something particular there?

Jay,

I recommend "Linux Firewalls", Second Edition by Robert Ziegler. It was
published in 2002, but it has coverage of iptables, good examples. You
should be able to pick it up used too.

Amazon link:
