Notebook as a router/firewall - SUCCESS

I did this years ago on a laptop with two PCMCIA network cards... using
Redhat 5.2!! It recognized both cards on startup, and with a few ipfwadm
commands I had a nice firewall working in a matter of minutes. As long as
your laptop has no heating problems (which he got around nicely, I might
add) the laptop is a great solution.

Interesting.  How did you get two ethernet cards to work on the laptop
at the same time?  Hopefully you are not sharing eth0 and eth0:1 on
the same card...
