firewall

[Bryce C.]

I've got a box nearly identical to that running smoothwall for my
network.  I've actually got a 13Gb in it, (yes I know it's overkill but
it's for caching my little modem connection).  It did have a floppy and
cdrom but I pulled those for other computers because it didn't need
them.  Just the floppy drive was all that I needed for install w/network
option.  Best router in my opinion it doesn't take forever to boot as
with floppies.  Also, great user interface!  (Especially once you edit
the files and remove the banners!)  Just try it and you'll be amazed.

Right now my setup is like this ...

I really just want something to keep unwanted things out of my box. Plus i also want to set up a web/ftp/email server sometime in the near future but thats soemthing else alltogether :) Any help is apreciated thanks :)
