At this point I don't have a server or Linux. We have cable internet
service coming into one computer. I want to link four computers together
and port them through the cable modem, which is supposed to be capable of
handling 8 computers.

I saw an etherfast DSL cable router that looks like it will do the trick.
It is supposed to appear to the outside as one URL (or whatever it's
called). My concern is that one of the four computers has all my financial
and personal stuff on it - I don't wish to share that with nosy data miners.
Any suggestions?
