Hi, Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but if you can provide a low end PC you can setup a nice router for free. Check out www.coyotelinux.com for the details. I have been running it for a while now and it provides a very stable secure router, ports closed by default so it does protect you to that degree. For a nominal fee you can get the Wolverine software which is like a PIX firewall. I know people who run it, but I have not had any luck using it over PPoE. Hope that may help. T.

The setup looks something like this : DSL modem connected to a multi homed Windows 2000 Server. The W2K box is then sharing the ADSL connection via Internet Connection Sharing to the LAN made up of 10-25 PC running W98,WME and W2K Pro. I need somekind of proxy/NAT/firewalling and URL filtering capabilities on the W2K. They have to be free. We are sourcing for some netscreen stuff but do not know when it will come in. I can't use IP filtering in W2k as it affects all adapters. The LAN PCs use the server as a DC for policies and authentication. Right now the W2K server is connected to the internet with no security whatsoever. Thanks in advance. Gill Sarbjit Singh Gill ssgill () gilltechnologies com Powered by Gee! - Wireless Access Anywhere
