Hi, I'm about to (hopefully) set up a LAN between the (4-5) computers in my house and would like to share a cable modem connection between them. We're thinking of setting up an older computer to be a dedicated gateway system. My question is: how fast does this gateway need to be? It seems like it wouldn't have to be very fast since all it's doing is NAT, but I don't want to get stuck with bad service.
Also, is there any sort of step-by-step guide anywhere to set up this kind of thing? I'll be honest: linux scares me. I know it's the best way to set it up, but I realize that I don't know nearly enough to set this up on my own - much less troubleshoot it when things mess up. open to all suggestions thanks! - Benjamin Bradley - "these strange things happen all the time" - http://lostpoet.tripod.com/ - whee life what a rush --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
