DS>I want to share the connection to the net with a cable modem between more

DS>second nic in the server and a single nic in the client computer.  Hook
DS>the cable modem to the first nic in the server. Connect the server and
DS>client together with a standard hub and Winroute lite?
DS>Or would a router and a second IP from the cable provider work better??

Just installed a NetGear RT314 router 'tween our 3COMM cable
modem and 3 computer SoHo LAN over the holiday and it works
much better then a gateway computer. Fire wall very good; I
have seen no ZoneAlarm stealth hits where previously I would
see at least 5 or 6 in a 6 to 8 hour period from our AT&T
Mediaone cable feed.

(Strugleing to get an RMA from Linksys to return failed BEFRS41
router 8-(

Ciao, Ack.
