RE: Cable Modem on Linux
Not a good way to do it. The place for a firewall is before the machines. I
built a pentium 133 with two interfaces as a firewall, and that works great.
Connect the external interface to the hub, use dhcp to get the IP, and use
non-routable IPs for the internal network. Connect a hub or switch to the
internal interface of the firewall and connect all the othe machines to that
hub.
You can use PMfirewall to make configuration very easy.

Is it possible to just hook up all my machines to the hub provided by the
cable modem provider, then install a Firewall program on each one? Or do I
have to get a cable router or something?
