why are you making this so difficult? why not have the cable modem go to the hub, and let the hosts all plug into the hub? that's what we're doing here, and it's pretty easy.
unless you have a static IP for that first box and want it to be visible to the net, that is.
There might be the simple problem that the ISP is only going to hand out one IP Address.
Rogers for example is that way, they lock your cable modem down to one IP (unless you buy more) per Modem.
which is precisely what's happening here. the linksys hub takes care of all NAT of internal hosts, and it works wonderfully.
obviously, this is not a solution if you want to run an internet- visible server, but since we're not, it works fine.
Or if you already have a box waiting to do the job, and don't feel like spending the money on a home router.
