If you have the time and patience there is tons of information on the
web about setting up a linux router.  You can use just about any distro
or use one of the  several stripped down router versions of linux.

http://www.linuxrouter.org/
http://www.flounder.net/ipchains/ipchains-howto.html
http://www.cthunter.org/linux/linux-gateway.html
http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/2100/1/

... Just a couple quick links

Now you can go through all the trouble (and it is a good learning
experience) or you can drop $40-$80 (may even be cheaper now) on a
decent little hardware router and be done with it.  I started out going
through a win2k server when I first switched to cox and my speed
increased considerably when I got the linux router working.  And now
with the hw router my speed is the same, if not better, than with the
linux router.

Anyway, good luck.

What is the best way to use an old Slackware box and 5-port switch to
share a cox cable connection with 4 other computers, running windoze and
linux?  Cox Cable has no Linux support, as most of you already know.
