| 274346 | 2004-09-21 23:16:00 | Pete has suggested Smothwall, which from what I've heard and read can do all that you ask . I haven't actually used any of these yet, just downloaded a couple and done some research in readiness for my imminent change to cable . There are two versions of Smoothwall, the GPL one is the one you want to look at and probably what I will run with . There is another one called M0n0wall ( . ch/wall/" target="_blank">m0n0 . ch) not listed at Distro watch . Read up, see what fits your needs, what learning curve is involved, what is overkill . Some will run off a CD so you don't need to install them to a hard drive, if that's what you want . In the end you might decide to purchase a router and pop some usage filtering and/or metering software on the 166 PC along with a firewall, although you can do that with most of these as well, ie, you don't need to use the routing capabilities .
