Rusty Russell's Packet Filtering HOWTO is the canonical guide to using iptables. iptables is very flexible, so you can do may things with it. But this also means it can be intimidating to start with.
If you can more clearly describe what you want to accomplish, people here might be better able to help you find a recipe for your goals.

You can install some packages that handle iptables for you. I use firestarter, but there are others like shorewall.
~$ apt-cache search firewall | sort
~$ apt-cache show <package_name>
Good luck.
