I keep searching all over google trying to find what I am looking for
but to no avail. Hopefully somebody in this group can help, or direct
me to someone who can.

Here is what I want to do. I am helping out a library who is upgrading
to a T1 line. They will have a CISCO router that will have an ethernet
port to connect from. My question is this. They don't have a server or
anything as of yet so I'm looking for a reasonable solution that would
provide NAT firewall and DHCP so they can put a couple of extra
computers on the internet. I'm guessing I can't just use a broadband
router (I have set up a ton of those for people) because it doesn't
truly do 10/100 on the WAN port. My preference would be to set up a
Linux server to take care of it, but they aren't ready for that yet.

Thanks for any input and thoughts,

Tracy



A T1 line for just one computer? That's the implication of what you
wrote. I suspect there is other equipment in the library and adding a
router or (especially) another DHCP server can wrek havoc and get
someone fired, maybe not you.

To address your question, any home DSL router+switch I've seen does
10/100 on the WAN side if it's got the typical 5 RJ45 jacks. If it's
just gone a phone jack and one ethernet jack then I call it a "dsl
modem" and it doesn't do DHCP or NAT.
