Please repply in danish if better!

Hi,

I have a Tele.dk NAT connection with preconfigurated router(192.168.1.1)
with DHCP scope:
(192.168.1.6 - . . . 244)
Now, as I was feeling quite unsecure placing my win only client directly on
Internet via router's hub (;-)),
so I just bought a new netcard for my Linux web server in order to enable
routing, and perhaps some kind
of minor firewalling(later). My existing web server's configuration is:
(netcard eth0: ifconfig 192.168.1.3 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask
255.255.255.0)

What I'm asking here is advise for:

1) IP adress for the second netcard eth1 on my LAN(enabling gateway for WIN
clint)
and also using existing router (192.168.1.1)
2) According to my SuSe manual it say's that hosts behind the gateway shall
use broadcast
255.255.255.255. So to exclude any doubt please recommend me whole win
clients IP configuration.

To be more precise with this question I have, ilustration follows:

internet-->(router 192.168.1.1)-->(linux box as webserver eth0=192.168.1.3 |
router ????? )
								               |
								               -->(win client ???)

PS. I have seen routing explanation on the current SSLUG Linux book, but I
think my network is a bit different, so
that's why I'm bodering you with this question ;-)
Again, If you find this network configuration wrong, I'm also interessted in
looking at
your idea of routing network design with NAT.

Thank you!
