Everything goes via my gateway firewall system - 2 nics - one internal with static IP and serving my internal network, and the other nic connected to the DSL modem - dhcp. The one connected to the DSL modem is filtered heavily - I don't trust the modem security. So, essentially, I'm creating yet another internal network isolated from the other, but still able to use the gateway to get on the internet. Was hoping I could do this virtually - I ran out of PCI slots for yet another NIC, methinks. Will have to see if I can pull something out or hook up a USB lan adapter and another switch...
