Aah, is that what its called! Thanks.

Seems like ill have to dig up another old computer... hehe. Do both.

bakunin, I heard you could install a antivirus on Unix that checks windows viruses. Dunno if this little processor can handle something like that thou...

Was wondering if this lil processor could handle the firewall with a squid proxy server and router. Coz this is what I understand would be a great setup...

Use the Routers built in firewall and set rules to rout everything to the firewall. The firewall will have two network cards, one going into the routers switch (Which would waiste the switch part) and the other going into another switch on which our network is connected. On that machine we have the firewall, behind that the squid proxy, and a Windows Anit Virus in there somewhere. Game ports would be opened to skip the proxy server so they can reach my brother's computer faster reducing lag. All other ports would be scanned for viruses and then cashed for later use (maybe).

Wireless would obviously not be able to run through the firewall as it is built into the router. Advanced routing settings should still be done on the router seeing that the firewall cannot connect to the modem directly.

Would this setup cause increase in lag? For my Gaming Lord brother would he realize the increase in lag? (im guessing all we have to do is forward the ports as directly as possible)

Most articles I could find is mainly based on larger networks for companies, not personal networks for normal families. heh.

Also seems like Redhat or Debian would be my best bet as a OS on the system? (where Redhat almost seems like the better bet)

Thanks for the advice so far. Really looking forward to setting this up.

iprsetup

iprsetup(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       iprsetup(8)

NAME

       iprsetup - Internet Protocol router setup

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/iprsetup -s

       /usr/sbin/iprsetup -sd

       /usr/sbin/iprsetup -r

       /usr/sbin/iprsetup -rd

       /usr/sbin/iprsetup -fvalue

       /usr/sbin/iprsetup -fvalued

       /usr/sbin/iprsetup -d

OPTIONS

       Sets  ipforwarding  and	ipgateway  to  one,  which means the system functions as an IP router.	This option cannot be combined with the -r
       option.	Resets ipforwarding and ipgateway to zero, which means the system does not function as an IP router.  This option cannot  be  com-
       bined  with  the  -s  and  -f options.  Sets ipforwarding and ipgateway to one (like the -s option), and also sets ipfirewall to one, which
       means the system functions as an IP firewall.  Additionally, sets ipsrcroute and ipchkredirects according to the specified value.  The fol-
       lowing table shows the valid values and their meaning:

	      ----------------------------------------------------------
	      Value   Meaning
	      ----------------------------------------------------------
	      0       Sets both ipsrcroute and ipchkredirects to zero
	      1       Sets ipsrcroute to zero and ipchkredirects to one
	      2       Sets ipsrcroute to one and ipchkredirects to zero
	      3       Sets both ipsrcroute and ipchkredirects to one
	      ----------------------------------------------------------

	      This  option  cannot  be combined with the -r option. Only application gateways for firewall services use this option.  Displays the
	      values of ipforwarding and ipgateway. The values are displayed after the values are changed when combined with the -s,  -r,  and	-f
	      options.

DESCRIPTION

       The  iprsetup  command  sets the ipgateway and ipforwarding variables in the running kernel allowing your system to function as an Internet
       Protocol router.

       When ipfirewall variable is set to one, the following variables are also set: Indicates whether IP source-routed packets are  accepted  (1)
       or dropped immediately (0).  Indicates whether ICMP Redirect messages are authenticated (1) or accepted with no authentication (0).

       The  iprsetup  command  is  automatically  executed  by	netsetup  when	you  configure	your  network daemons.	It is also executed by the
       /sbin/init.d/inet script when you reboot your system or restart the network on your system.
