I have something similar, 3 PCI NICs in a p2 450 box. NIC 1 handles the DSL line. NIC 2 handles the internal network. NIC 3 handles the wireless network there isn't anything all that complicated about it. i use iptables to handle nat/firewall, and it was really easy to set up. -Gabe _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
