Using 2000 as a firewall for other computers

[Adam Thornton]

Sorry for those of you who have read this in another
forum. Here's the deal. We are trying to implement a kind
of "poor man's firewall." My question is how easy is it to
place two NIC cards into a Windows 2000 machine (one card
having access to the router/ISP, the other having access
to a switch) to have a firewall for security purposes. We
were wanting to test the security capabilities of Windows
2000 and its firewall. Is this possible? Are there any
other cheaper alternatives? Is this even worthwhile?
Thanks in advance for any help!
