*********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** Aron; IPCOP or Smoothwall 2.0 should be fine. I don't know if IPCOP allows you to do remote management of the firewall, but Smoothwall does. Unless you're planning on running a separate web-server, the third NIC isn't needed at all. 128MB ram isn't what I'd call overkill, but then I'm a RAM hog so I'd start at 256MB's and I wouldn't look back. I probably go through 50 or 60 GB's of ram each month, just to give you an idea of what I mean. Are you hosting any sites, domains, or email servers? If not then we can start shutting down services as soon as you want to. Make up a list of the services which are currently running on your PC and email it to me off-list. Otherwise, sounds like you're "Good to Go" ! Lanman
