Hi,

I have a pc which I will use as a firewall.
The pc has 5 network ports and I would like to use 1 as a wan port and the rest as a switch. Basicly creating a router layout is this possible?

Hi,

As far as I know you could do a two port switch, that would having one interface your LAN and bridging it with another. I don't think an interface can be bridged with multiple others though.
