I'm thinking of setting up a hardware firewall. Anyone got any sugestions? I've got a "spare" PC - spec, P133CPU, 64Mb RAM, 1gig HD, 100Mbit NIC. I'm using a USB ASDL modem.

Cheers,

these are pretty good kerio winroute

Its what we use at work and its very powerful and configurable. It allows full firewalling and routing control and theres a 30 day trial.

There are some free linux distributions all geared up do this sort of stuff too, just have a search on google.

As Darren says, if you want to go the IPCop then it'll work. I've got practically the same set-up, including USB modem. It worked flawlessly first time.
