You may want to have a firewall running on all your machines. It adds another layer of security. If you are using all static IPs, then it does not matter if you run a DHCP server at all. On the other hand, you may want to consider running the DHCP server on the Linksys, or a machine that is up 24/7, and set up fixed IP assignments based on the MAC address of the machine requesting the lease. One other thing to keep in mind - you are probably going to want to change the name server IP address - ether to the Linksys router, or to a machine on the local network running a caching name server. (I like the second method, because you can have hosts on the local network resolve.) Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
