Hi,
first make sure that the "START_FIREWALL" option is set to "yes" in 
/etc/sysconfig/config (and make other adjustments as you need), so the 
firewall script starts on boot
Next, in /etc/sysconfig/nic/ you have to create one file for each network 
interface you have (for example, ifcfg-eth0, take a look at the sample 
files). You can also add static routes as you wish, it's all well explained 
in the sample files.
Finally, you have to set your firewall rules in /etc/init.d/firewall.rules 
(there are sample files there too, named firewall.rules.2nic and 
firewall.rules.3nic).
To set the firewall rules I suggest using "fwbuilder" (www.fwbuilder.org), 
an application that you can use to set the rules in a graphical interface, 
and then compile it to create the "firewall.rules" file. Then copy
it to /etc/init.d/, run the firewall script to reload the rules and that's 
it.
I'm not a Linux expert either but the DL documentation is really good and it 
helped me a lot (http://www.devil-linux.org/documentation/1.2.x/). I have 
configured a firewall with 3 interfaces a couple of months ago and it works 
great.
Cheers,

Gustavo
