This is helpful, but nothing I was not already aware of. The problem
is that I don't have static IPs. all the machines on my internal net
need to grab their IP information over a DHCP server on the other
side of the ADSL modem. If I go with an IP router solution i'll have
to go with NATd/IP Masq which means no connections incoming from the
outside world. I believe when A sends to B an Ethernet packet is
sent which contains the MAC addresses, and this is "below" the level
of IP networking. I want to analyse that packet and not pass it on to
the modem based on that criteria. Other than that, the diagram below
is what I had in mind.

I can't respond to question #1 as I have no experience with Linux,
but as for question #2 perhaps you could get by with something like
this:
A (WinNT)

ADSL --- FreeBSD --- HUB --- B (Win95)

C (whatever)
With this scenario you would be using BSD as an IP router. This
would block internal traffic from hitting the ADSL at all which, I
think, is what you were trying to get accomplished. This takes one
PC with two NIC's and a couple of hours. If this comes close to what
you want I can give you some more info. I'm using a similar setup at
my place with ISDN in place of ADSL.

go back to the list and had typos! oops. )
