The other NIC connects to a hub along with all your other computers. give it an ip of 192.168.1.1 (this is the gateway) Give all your other computers an ip 192.168.1.xxx with a network of 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 and a gateway of 192.168.1.1 If you are not going to have a local nameserver than set the ip hostname of all the computers on your network in each computers /etc/hosts file, include the ip hostname of the computer connected to the isp. Then you will use masquerading between the two NICs (the pc with 2 NICS) -- Gerald Waugh
