linux router?

Ive got a question for the linux/networking people here.

i have a high-end gigabit cisco switch, a ~20 mbps internet connection, and a asus wireless ap.

i have a computer: amd athlon xp 2.8 ghz, 1 gb ram, 2 gigabit lan cards.

i want to set the computer up as a router, dhcp server and fileserver. (or just a router and dhcp server, if that would be a better setup)

im new to linux (aka, i have never used it for more then 10 mins) but i know it would be the best OS to use.

How would i do this? ive tryed looking on google but all i can find is stuff thats not linux-noob friendly.

(something that supports upnp and easy setup of port forwarding would be nice too...)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Try Smoothwall. It works rather well.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I got it done, Smoothwall on one pc, and a windows 2k computer for a fileserver. Thank you Arainach!

Double Post:
One more question:

If i enable the cacheing proxy on the smoothwall gateway will that effect dynamic pages in any bad way, like say, the GFF front page?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
