Re: Minimal gateway hardware configuration

Note: You need two LAN cards: One for the outside connection and one
to your internal network. (You probably already know that, but since you
referred to 'LAN Card' in the singular I thought I should mention it
anyway.)

Yes, the machine has 2 D-Link cards.

More than enough.

I use a Pentium I @ 133MHz w/ 64MB RAM as a gateway with a faster Internet
connection (8Mbps down / 1Mbps up) and it has no problem keeping up.

Earlier I had only 512 Kbps connection, and at that time used a 386sx @
33MHZ w/ 8MB RAM as gateway. It had no problem handling that speed.

Then my configuration is not minimal I'd say :-)
Thanks.
