Simple internal router


Hi,

I need a very simple router. I have 2 subnets (private IP addresses) and I simply want to route any and all traffic between the two. I'm new to Linux. Is my best bet just to pick one of the distros and dig through the docs, or is there a ready-to-go, (fit-on-floppy maybe?) type package that I can throw on an old PC with 2 NICs, fill in my subnet info, and be done?

Jay

That is a good one too, it will work well even on old hardware (give an old 486 a new lease on life).

Thanks everyone. One of those would probably work, but now it looks like I probably won't need one after all.
