cox cable and linux

well,
I've setup a small linux box with 2 ethernet interfaces:
1. goes to the cablemodem
2. goes to the switch.

you can use either iptables or ipchains to do the nat/firewall/port
forwarding and simply have it sit there doing its own thing. the other
machines will not care (as far as they are concerned, they have access to the
net).

Its the arrangement I use at home with quite a lot of success.

btw, if you want live chat, you can try amsn (an msn chat client for linux).
check them out at amsn.sourceforge.net.
