Nope. It only means you can have up to five PCs connected to the same subnet of the DSL modem. More than that you'll have to setup a LAN with one of the PCs acting as the gateway. > 2.

More complex stuff like firewall, then you'll have to hit the docs, or the distro's wiki site. Cheers! --- mike t. ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
