Hi, Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but if you can provide a low end PC you can setup a nice router for free. Check out www.coyotelinux.com for the details. I have been running it for a while now and it provides a very stable secure router, ports closed by default so it does protect you to that degree. For a nominal fee you can get the Wolverine software which is like a PIX firewall. I know people who run it, but I have not had any luck using it over PPoE.
Hope that may help. T.

The setup looks something like this : DSL modem connected to a multi homed Windows 2000 Server. The W2K box is then sharing the ADSL connection via Internet Connection Sharing to the LAN made up of 10-25 PC running W98,WME and W2K Pro. I need somekind of proxy/NAT/firewalling and URL filtering capabilities on the W2K. They have to be free. We are sourcing for some netscreen stuff but do not know when it will come in. I can't use IP filtering in W2k as it affects all adapters. The LAN PCs use the server as a DC for policies and authentication. Right now the W2K server is connected to the internet with no security whatsoever. Thanks in advance. Gill Sarbjit Singh Gill [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by Gee! - Wireless Access Anywhere
