im looking to move into shared accomodation fairly soon where they already have dsl internet connectivity, shared via a wireless router. im going to be using the internet connection that is already there but i dont really want to just connect my pc's to their network, at least not without having some form of firewall (not software on my pc's!) between my network and theirs. they have a mix of wireless and wired clients already in the house.
would it be possible for me to build a *nix router with two wireless nics in it, and one wired nic in it... one wireless nic to connect to the existing wireless router, which would then act as my pseudo-internet connection using nat... and then another wireless nic to serve my wireless network... and then the wired clients will just connect as usual to the standard wired ethernet interface.
would any of the 'standard' *nix routers/firewalls support this configuration, as my linux skills are limited at best!?
thanks!
