Nadim,
There are a few choices you have...
There are packages that will setup a "firewall"...
http://www.fs-security.com/ is the one.
If you don't have a box that can do just router/firewall duty, you could hit ebay and get a way cheap box as I have done to be used as a router/firewall. I got a Compaq DL380 G2 for 60 bucks and it's NICE.
Or you can run a virtual box and run ipcop in one part, the other part be whatever you need.
Choices choices choices.... :)

I know I should disable dhcp on my router and install and start dhcp on my fedora box. I also know that I should connect the ethernet cable from the modem to one of the ethernet ports on my fedora box and the other cable to a switch. The reason why I am doing a dhcp using fedora instead of ipcop is because I don't have another box to spare. Also is there a good web based gui front end as well similar to ipcop. By the way I do have a regular router that works but I would like to try this and if not I could go with ipcop or m0n0wall.
