I'm setting up a linux box for backing up computers in our office.  The box
is on a local IP behind a firewall so I'm pretty confident that it is not
visible to the world.  However, I do no our office computers are visible to
computers in nearby offices within the same organization.  I'd like to block
out all incoming connections except those within our office (a very limited
range of IPs).  I've been googling for howtos a bit, but I don't really even
know where to get started or just what to search for.  Any suggestions?

(using Debian, no GUI)

Thanks! -Eric
