Anna, you are a bit confusing but let me restate what I think you are 
asking.

You currently have a setup that no longer works for you.
You are getting a PC with 2 ethernet cards to act as a router.
You will have two other pcs: a web host machine and a email server machine.
You want to know how to configure the pc router to direct the right 
information to the right machine.

Is this correct?
