I have a signal loss to the front of our house so I was thinking of a SMP folder/linux based.
I would like to configure a smoothwall computer and I'd like to rum SMP on it. Is this possible?

Schematic:

I-----------------[computer one]
I
I
I---------------- [router ] ------------------------------------I
I I
I [cable in]------------------------[Modem]-------I
I
I
I- - - [80 ft cat 5, bringing to front of house]--------------------[computer two]



Ideally, i would like to put the smoothwal router where the router currently is located, and move the router to the front of the house.

Sorry to burst your bubble but I think any firewall distro is only running linux 32 bits so no SMP love for them unfortunately. What we really need is a 64 bits firewall OS and I would love to hear if this can be found...

However, you can setup a router firewall server manually with a 64 bits OS and installing the necessary packages.
 
This tidbit seems interesting... Can you try to install then test it (Easy to install the SMP client by running finstall /smp) ?

If yes, this might give me a reason to build a cheap dual-core firewall server to offset my lab borging loss.
