OK, I've given up on the linux bit and gone with a much simpler solution for my firewall/router setup.

I downloaded Coyote Linux and tried that on. Overall, I was very pleased with the ease of setting it up and its performance.

But I do have one question about coyote linux. Do I require a hub to connect more pc's to the Router PC? Right now I only have the one Client PC conected to the Router PC, but I'll be hooking up a roomates PC in a few weeks.

So can I just add more NIC cards to that Router PC, or will I need a hub?

Thanx,
Shaun
