[CLUE-Tech] linux & broadband

If your windows box suports two Ethernet cards, it is possible to configure this. To the best of my knowledge only NT and 2000 support multiple ethernet cards.

Of course, the better way to do this is to install two ethernet cards in your Linux box. Let the Linux box connect to the cable modem and let the Linux box handle the security.

I want to use the windows machine as a gateway and network the linux box to this machine. I am completely clueless on how to go about doing it. Any help would be appreciated.
