Hello All,
Please excuse this very simplistic question. As I
posted before, I'm going to get a cable modem. I want
to share the connection among four computers a Linux
box, 2 Windows boxes, and a macintosh.
I thought I would just buy the modem and a hub and
that would be that. But I started thinking about the
security aspects of the setup. Should I get a router
instead of the hub, to facilitate a firewall? Because
I don't think only a software-based firewall will
work, particularly if it's windows based.
Since I know most of you are more experienced in these
matters than me, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad
