Hi, my ISP Router sucks like hell. Lucky for me, my old server isn't in use anymore and I thought about converting it unto a full router (+ sharing the HDD's inside the computer to the whole network).
Its a Dual Core 2 Duo 2,6Ghz with 2GB RAM and a GeForce 8600GT. So I guess this should be enough for a router ;D
What OS should I use? I read smth about IPCop ? There will be Windows & OSX devices connected to this router/computer. I need port forwarding, priorities, dyndns support would be nice, etc![]()
Thanks

The thing is that the amount of power a desktop computer consume is way higher than a home router.
You might want to
1)Open up the cranky router and check for bloated capacitors
2)Get another Router install OpenWRT and turn it into a Router/Server -
This computer would run anyway as some kind of NAS. I guess I will use IPfire.
computer as router
