I use a hub setup... one gateway/server machine with 2 nics... one to my cable modem, and one to a hub, which is then connected to all my other machines in my apt.
I haven't tried a setup using a router yet.... anyone have any experience using both? Which is better? The only thing I don't like about the setup I have now is that if the gateway computer crashes then the rest are kicked off the net. I also don't like having to leave the main computer on all the friggin't time so my housemates can use the internet when I'm not around.
THoughts... opinions...techie advice? Talk to me.
