What I'd like to do is run the DSL modem straight into the hub, then let the various machines on the network link into the hub to get Inernet access. (A second best solution would be to link from the DSL modem to my main machine, then use a second NIC to go from there to the hub) According to what I have read in the past if you use only one NIC you will have to use two TCP/IP stacks on your Internet access server. Where as if you use two NICs in your Internet access server you only need one TCP/IP stack on your server. The article also said setting up two TCP/IP stacks adds another level of complexity to the process. I can't find the article now but I will keep looking for it. Street Walker went with two NICs on his InterJetNet server. Here is a link to Tucows modem sharing page tucows.ionet.net They list a lot of modem sharing software with ratings.
