Plug in a router/firewall/NAT between the DSL connection and the hub. If you have an old Pentium kickin around with just a floppy drive, that's all you need. There are plenty of kickass floppy-based Linux firewalls you can snag for free. 2. Done. or: 1. Configure your Mandrake box as a firewall/router/NAT which is a lot more complicated and time consuming, IMHO, but will teach you lots about how firewalls, NAT, and routing work. There should be an internet connection sharing wizard in MCC though, I am not sure if it takes care of all that. I *always* recommend a dedicated firewall/NAT, no foolin around, learn IPTables later.
