Well I was thinking of turning my old p3 1000 into a freebsd nat router/firewall with http://www.pfsense.com/

Outperform any wired router any day of the week

a) i dont have a spare pc now - it blew up
b) i dont have that many sockets in the room to power another pc
c) less space required with a router than another pc

Here's the router I have:

It runs smoothwall

I'd go with the Linksys you linked to, my uncle as a VPN firewall style router from Netgear and it sucks for port forwarding.

 

[Dark Atheist]

yes the linksys is more a router, plus its cheaper than the netgear

I've always been a linksys fan.

The thing with the Netgear that I didnt like with my uncles was port forwarding. You can't do an port switch. Like this is the outside port and this is the inside port.

For example I cant say forward port 5500 to 192.168.0.100 port 3389.



EDIT: I meant can't not can, fixed now.
