Grab a copy of (GPL) www.Smoothwall.org - let it do the hard work, on a small (P133/higher) machine. PPP0E, DHCP, DUN etc - whatever your ISP requires. Using 2 NIC's, you'll have a NAT'd LAN, and a great firewall. You can add machines at will, using simple 192.x.x.x addressing. Just set the default gateway to your smoothie, such as, 192.168.0.1 or similar - then enjoy the traffic graphs, Snort, and so forthe. Not bad for free ;) Check out! .02, /b --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
