Jim,

What are you using for a firewall currently?  What is your network
setup I.E. how do you connect to the Internet?  What devices do you
have connected between your cable modem and or DSL modem or Clear Wire
modem?

Depending on what your filtering policy and if you have a firewall
device or not.  You can use iptables on your Ubuntu machine as a host
based firewall.  along with my first question are you trying to
provide access to one or more hosts as well? or just your Ubuntu
machine?
