Karl,
  First of all, I don't use Hotmail. I will admit to being a less than 
perfect typist, a definite issue when writing programs. I do not need to 
learn networking I've used IPchains and IPtables for scratch firewalls 
in the past with a dialup connection. However since I am working on 
setting up the IMAP server everyone is recommending, and moving our 
business to broadband.  I thought I had better set up a dedicated 
firewall machine. This is an excellent review of the basics with 
examples for everything from how to setup a SOHO network to a nationwide 
ISP. The author currently works for Global NOC of Interroute Europe's 
largest voice and data network provider. It also is rather mind numbing 
perhaps you should read it.
