How can i configure a router using iptables if i have two network interfaces ( 2007-12-06 22:17:19
I wouldn't use Iptables for that...
I would apply the appropriate network settings for each adapter (hence each LAN network) then create static routes.
eth0 and eth1 are gateways for their respective networks, you just supply the static routes.

Will I be able to access a virtual OS like any other PC on my network? 2012-04-04 22:00:17
A self-contained operating environment that behaves as if it is a separate computer. For example, Java applets run in a Java virtual machine (VM) that has no access to the host operating system. This design has two advantages:
System Independence: A Java application will run the same in any Java VM, regardless of the hardware and software underlying the system.
Security: Because the VM has no contact with the operating system, there is little possibility of a Java program damaging other files or applications.
The second advantage, however, has a downside. Because programs running in a VM are separate from the operating system, they cannot take advantage of special operating system features.
So basically is like a different pc on the network and it would have is own ip address
I'm not sure what you're connection between the Linux Router project and a print server is.
Linux can easily do both. But they are two vey separate components of a Linux server.
I've used a Celeron 1.7 Ghz, with 256MB Ram and a 40gig HD to do something like you're describing.. Using my linux box as a router, printer server, and for a file server for a few files.
