Thank you for your answer.

By the way, can I just use the package here and how do I use it?:
http://maemo.org/packages/view/iptables/

The explanation says that:

"These are the user-space administration tools for the Linux kernel's netfilter and iptables."

Does this mean that it includes the kernel?

Does the device block all incoming connections by default?
