I found this out while in the USA, I had to power off my brother's cable modem each time I plugged into his Windows box or my Linux laptop in order to get dhcp to work. At home in the UK, I have a firewall machine, an old Cyrix M200/16M/floppy/2 NIC's and 1M video card (not really needed) using the BBIagent floppy and network web access to it from any browser. It's several times larger than a shiny router box offering the same functions and cost zero, it also tucks away under the desk and out of the way. Regards Sid.

This is probably what I'll be using it for, as well as the little games that my g/f and I love so much! Of course I'm going to wait till after xmas to mess with IP forwarding and what not. Do I have to have two NIC cards, or can I plug both into a little hub and then the cable modem into the hub as well? Blake
