Laptop as A Firewall

TheRealJackal · 12-19-2003, 06:56 AM

Hi,

Does anyone know of a good distro or how I can turn an old Laptop into a firewall..?

It is a P2 300 with 192mb ram and has 1 intel compatile network card and a Xircom PCMCIA network card...

I have a SB4100 modem which can use either network or USB.

Any help appreciated

Do you know if any of those have PCMCIA and Dynamic DNS Support?

when u set it up you pick the drivers or u can put on new drives to the desk and put it in the text files.
