Hello everyone! Just have a couple of questions that i need some help with.
I need to pick up two NIC cards for my soon to be firewall. lets begin:
1) Should I pick up two different NIC speed cards?
I mean, should I have a 100mb NIC connecting to the WAN (cable modem) and a 10mb card connecting to my internal LAN?
2) My firewall is going to be running either Slackware 8.0 or OpenBSD 3.0. Which brand if NIC would you recommend?
I'm currently looking at NetGear, Dlink and 3com.
Money is a factor.
So, if you could send me your throughts and opinions, I would be very much appreciative!
Thanks everyone!
RL
