if you need help figuring this out, pm me and i will be glad to help. i dont log on much these days though, so dont expect an instant response
also, the hardware firewall doesn't need to be an expensive one. you are not operating a corporate network with umpteen billion machines hiding behind the firewall.

if im not mistaken, the old server ran off of a cable/dsl line. i doubt that jeff is paying the $$$$$$$$ for a t1 line, or even a fractional t1.
