David,
1. You might want to ask this on the expert list.
2. My home network is very similar to yours, coax instead of hub, dial
up instead of DSL, and a Dos box running IPROUTE instead of Windows with
ICS. I don't know exactly what ICS does, but IPROUTE ($50 shareware
from, darn, can't remember
i would consider all your macines to be at risk without a firewall on the
'ics' box, i would recommend what i use in a similar setup which is mandrake
single network firewall (snf) but i admit i'm used to cable modems which are
simple ethernet setups, i don't know about dsl modems so i can't sa
