Assuming that's not a typo and you really are running RH 5.2, I'd be almost as
worried about the Linux box as I was about the Windows boxes. RH 5.2 hasn't
been supported for years, so unless you're manually updating all the software
(and the kernel) on it, it's probably got a number of vulnerabilities in
it.

Redhat 5.2 uses ipfwadm for configuring the firewall. There's an FAQ on
that tool here:

and there's more documentation here:
