Right, Im setting up a p3 800mhz 256mb box as a firewall, file server, media player and to use for other stuff. Now I will have Modem>PC>old wireless router If I do this, I will have all network traffic coming at it through a single 10/100 connection. Instead of plugging all my wired computers into the router, can I shove some more NICs into the srever, and plug them into this, making it act as a hub as well. So Id have eth0 eth1 eth2 Will this work. Will I need patch or crossover cables. All help much appreciated.
