Connecting a server directly to a dsl modem.
I currently have a desktop tower with 2 ethernet ports. I am hoping to install a KVM virtual firewall os. I am having issues understanding what ip interfaces connect each of the different parts of the network.

So you don't know what you're doing, you're clueless about security, but you're going to connect your server directly to the Internet.
Yeah, that's a GREAT idea.
Buy a $30 consumer firewall appliance and prevent your server from becoming just another bot riddled spam spewer.

Welcome to the CentOS fora. Please see the recommended reading for new users linked in my signature.
If you don't like that answer, then perhaps consider running a [url=https://www.google.com/search?q=firewall+linux+distro&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&safe=active]firewall linux distro[/url] on real hardware (most any old used PC with two NICs should do) between your server and the Internet. CentOS is probably not the best choice for a firewall appliance.
