Ok ive been reading a bit recently about using an older p2/3 computer and a few nics as a router/firewall. Now can anyone tell what the advantages of this kind of setup are over the Belking 7231 router that I am using right now?? I have a 15/2 cable connection and 4 computers on my network. Would this Linux type router be an upgrade over my cheap Belkin router? BTW I only use the wreless part of my router for my notebook computer the others are pluged in directly. I really just want to know if it would be worth the time and effort to setup one of these firewall/routers. Would it make my network faster? Would the firewall be better?
thanks
Frank
