Windows on a Linux Network Server

[kevin26]

This question may have been asked, but this is my first time here.

I recently got into Linux and I have been using Linux Mandrake 8. I've got it running on a workstation, and connected to the internet through a hub which is connected to a cable modem. I want to set up a network server instead, and hook up the cable modem to the server and then hook up the rest of the computers to a hub which is connected to the server. The major problem that I am trying to figure out is, the rest of my machines are Windows 2000. I need to run windows on the workstations, as my wife and I play games made only for Windows, and we also connect to the interet alot for online gaming. I am currently looking for some help with setting this up. I don't want to keep having to shut down my computer or hers to connect another computer to the hub.

Please help?

Thanks,
Kevin :confused:

you mean you want to set the machine up as a gateway/router. first off, you need two NIC's in the machine you are going to use as the router.
