-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 IPCop is a turn key solution. It does everything you have so far described upon installation. After you input your dial-up parameters, it takes care of DNS, DHCP, NAT and firewall for the computers in your local network. Of course you can disable the service you don't need but it's all there. I used it for 3+ years running on a 200 MHz box for my home network DSL connection. We had it for more than 3 years at work serving a local network of 50+ computers running on a 200 MHz box. It did not break a sweat. It will do what you need, just try it! Alan Mattison wrote: > Thanks, that looks like a pretty good solution for the firewall.
