Unless you have special requirements, it's my opinion that for most home and small office networks the best thing to use for a router is a router. Dlink routers and the like are quite cheap, very easy to configure and they use less power and generate less heat than any general purpose computer. They also come with a fairly decent built-in firewall, not to mention that the mere fact that you're NAT-ing tends to add a layer of protection as well. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
