Mike, Dave is describing a hardware firewall. IPCop is its own distribution, so yes, you would need a dedicated box to run this on. This computer would have to have at least two NIC's to be able to serve your home network. I too am running IPCop here at home mine has three NIC's because I run with a DMZ for my web server. Check out http://www.ipcop.org/ for more info. It really is a breeze to install. -- Jarrod Major 4556 EFA8 EC69 7C54 EE33 C881 2C7C 0E10 2439 231E
