router distribution

hi

i'm looking for a router linux distribution.
it should have a webinterface so that i don't need a screen and should offer the ability to install UPnP support

i've tried mandrake multi network firewall, but it is very buggy for my usage ... it has problems recognizing my hp100 cards and if i add them manuelly, i can't use them in the webinterface without hanging the machine (yes - a linux system that freezes!!)

thanks in advance

Try Smoothwall!

www.smoothwall.org

It's just what you need.

i don't know if this supports UPnP ... but smoothwall has a greater problem
it allows only the configuration with lan, wan, dmz ... but i need lan, lan, wan
sure - i could use it with 3 network cards, but it would mean, that at least one network is a security flaw, as the dmz is not protected

only the commercial version of smoothwall would allow me to configure the zones manually - but the free version is too much restricted in that way

Not sure about UPnP - log into their IRC channel but like you say it isn't very good if you want 2 lans (for what ever reason). I'm afraid I've really only used smoothwall and ipchains manually. You could take a look at:

and

distrowatch.com is very useful ... i'm currently testing clarckconnect and after this i'll test astaro

thanks for all the info
