I am adding a Firewall in at home. I did not want to before as it was another noisy PC and more heat/clutter in the office but I feel it is worth it and I found a nice spot in the closet for this guy to sniff packets. I just don't know how to arange the order and maybe you guys can help me. Here is what I am working with...
Toshiba (TWC/RR) Cable Modem --- > WRT54G (DD_WRT) --- > Linksys 10/100 unmanaged switch 24 port --- > LAN PC's
Where would be the best place for the Smoothwall Firewall? I am right now using the Linksys WRT54G v2 as a "router/firewall" but it's poor protection at best. Can we just turn this into a WAP for my laptops and have SW do everything else?
Thanks for any assistance.
