This will work, but depending on the speed on your processor you may want to
rethink about this. I'm speaking from experience. My machine is only a 450
MHz AMD and I had it set up as the router and firewall for 6 months and one
day I decided to try the LynkSys router for $50. I wish I had gone with
that set up from get go. It lightened the work load on my "favorite"
machine and let me use it more fully for full internet and multimedia
enjoyment. Just a thought worth thinking about...
