I seem to recall some piece of software that would turn a computer into a router. I think it was a full operating system, but im not sure. Does anyone know what it is? :)

Smoothwall certainly looks like the best and easiest way to go, especially if you have an old 486 or P1 box gathering dust...Quote:

Designed for ease of use, SmoothWall is configured via a web-based GUI, and requires absolutely no knowledge of Linux to install or use.

It can run on virtually any 32-bit Intel or i386-compatible PC from a 486 to an Athlon or Pentium 4, and it enables that PC to become a dedicated firewall appliance, aka a SmoothWall box.
