Have a look at this, http://m0n0.ch/wall It's not Linux but Unix (FreeBSD to be exact) & will do exactly what you're looking to do. If your spare computer has a CDROM/floppy drive, you can yank that 10GB HDD & use it in something else. The CDROM version of m0n0wall only needs the floppy drive to store the configuration as the firewall/router runs in RAM. > Thanks Have a nice day! taharka Lexington, Kentucky U.S.A.
Thank you all for giving me your valuable time and suggestion. I guess LARTC or http://m0n0.ch/wall will most likely to solve my problem. I guess I need sometime to do my homework. :-) Thanks to you all & Have a Nice Day!
