Firewall

[eileen]

I have some questions about building a firewall.  I currently have a cable 
modem connection which of course gives me a static IP address.  If I was to 
build a firewall using a old 486 could I still assign my Debian box the 
static IP address as it is needed for my server which I use for 
hosting.  Or would the 486 use the static IP and assign the Debian box a 
private IP address?  Also I know there are many firewall how to's out there 
but would appreciate any recommendations.
