Hi, good news is i am now sharing my internet cable (broadband) connection between my two pc's (vectorlinux) and my brother's pc upstairs (winXP) for concurrent use --
using an old retired p1 box with only a fdd ( no hdd,cd, kbd,mouse or monitor ) 32mb ram and an el-cheapo ( 600.00 Rs ) switch on my lan ; using this box as a router running coyote linux ( easy ).
it's even a SPI ( iptables ) firewall , and can do traffic limitint ( QOS ) on the fly .
you can use the same set-up for dial-up , dsl , adsl .pppoe etc according
to your needs .
it's both fast and cheap - and uses linux for routing . try this out guys
if you want to share your connection between multiple pcs .
- Pinaki .
