I have a windowsbox and a linux box. The linux box has two NIC, one for my cable modem and one that goes to the hub. The windowsbox just hooks to the hub. Nothing is connected to the uplink port. I am using the linux box to share net access with the windowsbox. All works fine, but if I get what your saying I could have saved on one card by just pluging the cable modem into the uplink port? But then there is no linux firewall for the winbox right? -- 010101010010010111011110100001010000001110001110010100
