Subject: [SLUG] [OT] Internet <---> 486 firewall & NAT <---> Workstation


If it was too long for the subject line:

Internet <---> 486 firewall & NAT <---> Workstation

I will be having an on-ramp (home highway) thingie for 128K ISDN installed
next week, and several have suggested I have my old 486 (66MHz/20MB RAM) as
a
dedicated firewall + NAT, with say an ethernet plug for the home highway,
and
another ethernet card for my Pentium III workstation to plug into, and get
the Pentium III workstation to masquerade behind the 486, and somehow get it
to use the Internet over the ethernet connection between the 486 firewall
and
the Pentium III.

Is there any good beginners documentation on doing this? Can someone advise
me on what is the best setup, coax them together, ethernet or what? A Hub?
Do
I need a static IP? Is it best to have a static IP? I will be using my ISDN
as a dialup anyway to avoid $700/month charges for an always on permanent
ISDN connection.

cheers

James
