Yes, I have two interfaces on the Linux router. My setup is as you described: eth0 goes to the modem and eth1 goes to a hub for the client machines. I have a private IP network between eth0 and the modem and another between eth1 and the clients. I don't think two interfaces on the router is a requirement, though. I think you can get away with only one interface, provided that all the client machines have the router listed as their gateway. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan [Yama | http://www.pclinuxonline.com/] {GnuPG/OpenPGP: http://dhanapalan.webhop.net/yama.asc 0x049D38B4 : A7A9 8A02 78CB AB1B FCE4 EEC6 2DD9 249B 049D 38B4} "Recently I bought Office XP.
