Greetings, Instead of buying a router I thought that I would hook up my PC that has two NICs as a router. Basically what I have below is a rough illustration of what this looks like. I am trying to sift through the networking howtos from www.tldp.org but that is slow going. Has somone set this up? Any good walkthroughs?
[ISP]----[Cable MODEM]-----[My PC eth0] [My PC eth1]----------[My iMac]
I am running: [ISP]--[ADSL modem]-->[PC-R eth0][PC-R eth0]--Sw--->[PC Win98] | ---->[PC Sid] (where Sw = switch, PC-R = router PC running Sarge)

Go through those pages and feel free to ask if you have any
questions. > Also, main files you will want to be aware about are:
/etc/network/interfaces/ /etc/resolv.conf /etc/hosts and your firewall script(s)
