I have a pentium 100 with 3 interfaces running Fedora Core 1 acting as my firewall/gateway. I like Shorewall for my firewall configuration:

For DNS/DHCP I have a HOWTO:

http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net/redhat/fe ... c_dns.html

I actually run these services on a different pentium 100 funning FC1 but they could all run on the same box. I can't help you with the Windows part of it here other than to say it should work.

just a quick one..

As a fast install that does just about everything for you,
try http://www.linuxkungfu.org/ipkungfu (install - make minor
changes to suite your environment - fire it up and away you go)

My first servers were all based on ipkungfu - until I got to understand
what it is all about.

In fact my standby server running FC1 still uses ipkungfu with only
- I think - 3 or 4 changes in the configuration file.

yoiks - removed the fullstop I had at the end of the url;)

The first thing I usually do is read the instructions:
