5-port switch

I have a router-modem converted into a bridge mode, and I make it to dial-up the connection instead of auto-dialing it thru router.

So if I use a switch, can I still use ICS for these? ICS is mainly by using two NICs right?

Yes you should be able two. On the machine that acts as the ICS server, you will still need two NIC's. One will be plugged into your modem/bridge and the other that serves out the IP addresses will be plugged into the switch. However, if the connection to your modem/bridge is not over ethernet you would actually only need one NIC instead of two. That NIC will then connect into the switch. Hope this helps.
