Woa thats a mother of a home network :)
Are we talking SOHO home office type network or just a personal network
for messing about on?
Also, I assume you have a hub/switch between the 5 internet connected
machines and the DSL link and not 5 separate DSL links?
Mark.

Subject: Need advice regarding Linux or Windows firewalls
Greetings all
I have a 10 pc network that I run from my home, currently 5 of them are
connected directly to the internet via DSL.
One is a Windows 2000 DC with Active Directory and IIS running on it.
Another is a NT 4.0 Member server running Exchange 5.5
I have personal firewalls on all but the DC and Exchange server
machines. I
want to set up a real firewall between the internet and my LAN. I can
not
afford to buy a firewall currently. However I have a couple of spare
Pentium
II machines that I install Linux on and then use a Linux firewall. Can
anyone suggest a good Linux firewall that I could download off the
Internet
for free, or freeware based Windows firewall. I want to learn about
firewalls as well as protect my systems. If this is a bad approach to
the
problem or if you have a better suggestion I am open to it.
Thanks
Doug
