Firewall distro // forwarding from router?

$

Hello,

Been reading a little bit about making your own personal router/firewall, etc. I'm currently with BT as my ISP in the UK using the Home Hub 3, this servers as the router and firewall as one.

I have an old machine here that I use for different projects and alike, infact it's an old laptop with a broken screen - dual core / 4gb ram / 40GB HDD (previous one failed on me). Obviously it has ethernet and wireless capabilities. Is it possible for me to install something like pfsense/ip cop and have it handle fire walling and DHCP?
There doesn't seem to be any obvious option within the router to forward all traffic to a specific location.

There's no real purpose to this other than for my own knowledge, the Home Hub does what I need it to but I'm interesting in configuring something like this.

If not possible I could dig out an OLD machine and pickup a PCI ADSL card for it I guess..
