firewall

[robert jorgenson]

Can i set up smoothwall so i still go through the qwest box for the dhcp server? Or will i have to split the main internet line to go through the smoothwall box and the qwest gatewaybox(for the wierd parents) and just have my own network? Also which option would be more secure?
