Why not scrounge an older computer (even a 386 will do) and plunk 2 nic's in
it. Set it up as your firewall between the internet and you. Then connect
the external network nic of the linux box connecting to the cable modem, the
internal network nic and router to a hub? Security, and connectivity!

Subject: Cable modems & 2501s?? [7:13626]
Hi all,
I need some assistance with setting up my 2501 with my cable modem. I know
I'm missing something very obvious -- but attribute my oversight to my age!
(1) I configured the e0 port with ip address dhcp.
(2) I connected the cat5 cable from the cable modem to the e0 port.
(3) Now I know I need to connect the router to my hub -- but how?? -- since
there is only (1) ethernet port on a 2501?? Do I need a 2514 (or some other
router that has more than one ethernet port?
Again -- I know I'm missing the obvious -- but any help (with or without
flaming would be appreciated! -- Besides we old folks don't "burn" well!)
Thanks to all,
Greg Macaulay
