Linux software routing
Does anyone here have any experiance with Linux routing? The reason I ask this is that I want to use an old comp (P166) as a server but it would also have to route my network trafic from 2 pcs to (and from) the cable modem.
I thought it would be as easy as installing WinRoute (or a similar program) for windows, but I didn't find anything like it for Linux. Does anyone know if it even exists? Or how I could rig Linux (right now I'm using SlackWare 9.0, but I'm thinking of switching to RedHat) myself?

I use Debian; I have dual p2 server that works quite well , but it's the only other box on the system, so routing isn't a problem (yet). I'm told that Debian is the most configureable OS for networking out side the BSD's; it might be worth a look.

Probably information overload, but you should be able to find everything you need through the following:

It's called iptables. You just need to set it up. It's quite robust, in fact we use it at work (I work for an ISP). Try http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/ to make a custom configuration script. If you're feeling adventurous, try the wondershaper, too. http://lartc.org/wondershaper/

i personally have a p166 running "ipcop" which basically is a very minimal linux router. i believe the iso you download is something like 30MB in size. It works fine for me, easy installation. Doesnt really require you to know linux.
i believe more info...etc can be found at ipcop.org
