If you're running it in server-gateway mode, there is a firewall running.  You can configure it through the console.

Dear Dave
But how can I configure the firewall setting in the console such as the ruling, enabling and disabling the ports, etc.

Is there something specific you're trying to do? It's a standard Linux firewall (ipchains?) that you can modify from the command line. However, the default rules and the Port Forwarding panel are usually enough for most people...
