Re: firewall

If you're already behind a router (often dsl modem) you might be 'double
natting' if you don't configure it right.
I never like to mix uses but it can work though. My recommendation would
be to take an older piece of hardware and install SME Server (if you want a
directory server/file server for windows),or one of these firewall
distributions if you dont: smoothwall, endian firewall, or ip-cop.
On SME Server the windows machines need a registry patch (especially
Vista+) http://<localgateway IP>/server-resources/regedit/
