>Hi, > > If your ISP won't give you multiple IP's or will charge you more for them, you might consider a hardware router. I have a Linksys which connects to my cable modem and does ip masqueradin g for all the local machines to the internet. What Linksys router do you have? Does its interface work in Linux. I was thinking about getting a router for here because there's a Windblows box here that needs some protection but I don't want a router that needs windows to configure it.
