Hi guys,
the next days i'm going to have an internet connection to my house. I'm thinking of using an old Pentium 2/333MHz as gateway/firewall.
The following image shows shat i have in my mind.

Fisrtly a terminal device is given by the ISP in order to connect. The Pentium 2 serves as a gateway. The laptop and the desktop PC are my machines.
I'm planning to use also a wireless device in order to supply free internet connection to my neighbors. In order to do this i need the following.
To isolate the wireless device from the home network
To apply a bandwidth policy: i'm the one who pays, i should control the bit rate allocation
To have a log of the wireless device's connections
Is it possible using a Pentium 2/333MHz running Ubuntu?
