What is IPCop? I tried to go to Sourceforge but that site will never load. I would not have even tried if I had known that is where this software is located.
this?

IPCop Firewall is a Linux firewall distribution geared towards home and SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) users. The IPCop interface is very user-friendly and task-based. IPCop offers the critical functionality of an expensive network appliance using stock, or even obsolete, hardware and OpenSource Software.

I love VMWare Workstation so I was curious about this but it is not easy to follow why I would want this when I can't read anything about IPCop.

I did FINALLY get the download page for IPCop to load but no other pages there would load at all and the download page doesn't tell me anything about IPCop. I have cable broadband and no problems loading most sites.

I am guessing this acts like a firewall? So, you would have to boot this VMWare machine each time after you boot the host? That is a big drawback to VMWare Workstation. Plus, why would anyone want a firewall if they have a router and classic HIPS? That is why I got a router years ago and then ProcessGuard so I didn't need a software firewall...so is that what this is?

I only have one NIC so I couldn't do this anyway. But you have me confused...I have a home network but only one physical NIC....????
