 Grab a copy of (GPL) www.Smoothwall.org - let it do the hard work, on a small 
(P133/higher) machine. PPP0E, DHCP, DUN etc - whatever your ISP requires. Using 
2 NIC's, you'll have a NAT'd LAN, and a great firewall. You can add machines at 
will, using simple 192.x.x.x addressing. Just set the default gateway to your 
smoothie, such as, 192.168.0.1 or similar - then enjoy the traffic graphs, 
Snort, and so forthe. Not bad for free ;) Check out!
