You connect the hub to the "green " NIC in smoothie and the cable modem to the
"red" NIC. Give smoothie an address of (say) 192.168.1.1 and then specify it as the
gateway for all the other PCs on your network. In your browsers specify the use of a
proxy server with address 192.168.1.1
The smoothwall documentation is pretty good and there is also a good chat link
for deeper issues. See

Hope this helps
