    Slackware Router

    I have a p4 machine and installed slackware 13.0. What I will do with my machine is make it as my gateway and same time make it as my proxy server using squid. I have 2 nics and have already installed the drivers. What I want with my external connection is clone the external nic's physical address so that every time I will access the net only 1 Physical Address will be used during encapsulation. Is this possible on my machine? If yes can I ask any ideas on how to start? Pls see attached for the diagram

    How do you connect to the internet, has your modem built-in NAT router, is it enabled?

    Assuming it is in bridge mode and your only NAT router is the wireless router ... how exactly want you print to that printer?

    My ISP is providing me a private IP address. That is why there is no modem. My Slackware Machine will serve as a multipurpose router.

    In this case you need a switch and wireless access point instead of Netgear router. You want all your nodes to be on the same subnet.

    I want to use my machine so that I can save energy and money. My ISP redirects me to a portal whenever it detects a new Mac address and it requires me to login that is why I need to clone the external nic's mac address. I want my slackware to be the gateway of my new subnet and I want it to have a cache server so that mostly visited sites will load faster that the usual.
