How Do I... Split Networks?

[iSeriesCodePoet]

Hello all,

My dad is getting DSL soon and wants to be able to split the internet to his computers and to the appartment he rents out downstairs. He wants them to be able to access the internet but not access his network and vise versa. I know Linux can do this, my question is where do I find good documentation on how I do this?

What I know I need:
A PC (any speed)
3 NICs
A linux distro (I plan on Slackware or Debian)

Any help would be appreciated,

Oh sorry, I thought of one other thing, I want DHCP on both networks.

It's not great documentation, but it should do the trick...hey, it's free...so you can't complain.

How to setup DHCP server, check this out

To enable your Linux to become a router

http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO//NAT-HOWTO.html

If you want a prebuild router, then try this site.

http://www.linuxrouter.org/

Make your router divide the incoming DSL into two subnet and prevent them from seeing each other

Hi:

Mandrake's single network firewall or Mandrake's multi network firewall even better.

http://www.mandrake.com

Or

Try smoothwall or Clarkconnect, both are linux based.
I dont know where to download them. Just do net search for them.

Why the overkill? Instead of installing a new linux machine with tripple interfaces, and configuring it as a firewall, why not purchase cheaper DSL router? Or possibly even a small Cisco PIx router. Comes with GUI and everything to set up.

Just as a suggestion...

Name me one that does this for less than 20 bucks. My dad doesn't want to spend much money on this if possible.
