    I currently am running a Debian Stable server with two NIC cards. Only one
    NIC card is configured and providing the machine Internet access.

    The two NICs are:

    1 RealTek (forget model number) - 10 MB/S
    1 Network Everywhere (tulip) 10/100 MB/S

    Now I was thinking of possibly using my machine as a nice Linux Firewall.

    Now my Internet is only 20KB/s Down and 20KB/S UP so my question is if this
    is the proper way to setup a Linux firewall/gateway/server.

    I figured the best way would be to hook up the cable modem to the Realtek
    card and hook up my router to the 10/100 so everything on the Network
    remains 10/100. I figured since the Internet can't even go 1MB/s, the
    Realtek card could easily handle the Internet, also this way I don't have to
    waste the card/get rid of it and get a new one.

    This will also free up one port on my router so if for some reason I ever
    need an extra port for a computer say I am gonna try to fix or something.
