With only one card going to the LAN, how are you planning on connecting the other computers on the LAN to it? So I would say yes you need a hub or switch. Plug the one card from the linux box to the hub/switch, then plug the rest of the computers on the LAN to the hub/switch. Of course, you still need masquerading/forwarding/firewall on the linux box. DSL modem --->linux box ---->switch/hub ----->other computers on LAN Hope this helps, Mike
