Petz, OT on NICs and home networking: I thought you had to have a gateway with two NICs too, but then I read somewhere that implied you didn't really need that, you could just plug the cable TP ethernet line into your hub/switch uplink port, and have the router/gateway computer use the same NIC to handle traffic on the LAN and WAN. There's certainly enough bandwidth on a 100bt net that the internet traffic would be in the noise. I don't know, though, 2 NICs still seems safer and more straightforward. Cheers, Dan.
