Hi, There is another way for the firewall. Use an old (anything from a P2 up) and run IPCop on it. Refer to their website <ipcop.org> This system is a dedicated Linux Firewall I have been using for over 12 months. It is easy to configure, & requires no knowledge of Linux (although a read of the IPCop documentation is recommended...) It is an easy download of under 40M. My IPCop firewall has been running continuously for over 8 months without being rebooted! (My Linux box also never gets rebooted - I leave it on 24x7x52x...., until I reload it with a new distribution, or fit new hardware.)
regards Doug PS: Linux systems also do not need rebooting after new software installation!
