Need some help/tips with server setup


Hi!

I got an old PC that I want to setup as a server at home.

What I need help with is this;
I'm going to have several (3-4) network cards in it for internet connection sharing. How can I do this? And I would also like a bandwith limit on each of the ports.

I'm also going to serve my homepage on this computer as well as a torrent downloader, Is there a way to limit these two too?

I think iptables is the first thing you should get to know, at iptables.org - it can be used for firewalling, but also for NAT, masquerading, forwarding and much more. Read some documentation at their site to get a better picture of what it can do. Internet connection sharing, for example, can quite easily be done with iptables, and I don't really think the rest is much more difficult..
