    Yes. A Realtek is quite popular. If you are running discover from
    Sarge it will autodetect this and load the 8139too driver. (On Woody
    without discover you would need to specify this manually in
    /etc/modules.)

    With a Realtek device available you should be ready to go.

    Wide Area Network. The Internet. As opposed to Local Area Network.
    Your private network.

    Yep. (There is nothing really magical about these numbers. Just as
    long as you use differnet subnets between them. And I find it less
    confusing if they are quite different. So I suggested a 10.* address.
    As opposed to slightly different such as a 192.168.2.* address. But
    any of the rfc1918 private addresses should be fine.)

    You might ask the list for recommendations on firewall software with a
    kde flavor and gui. I don't know of any because I don't use kde
    myself.
