AFAIK, some distros have firewall on some don't. I guess ubuntu doesn't have it on. I don't know much about iptables so can't help here. But there are lots of documents out there and also man pages, which you can refer to.

Check any 'Security' Live CD's. I have seen it in hackin9 and PHLAK live CD's. See http://www.livecdlist.com/?pick=All&...ity&sort=&sm=1 and http://www.livecdlist.com/?pick=All&...ics&sort=&sm=1
