Okay, here is the situation.

I just bought that new 449$ dell from the hotdeals forum. I want to use my current comp as a file server, for my local network, and use terminal services, etc.

I have a cable modem going to a 10mbit hub, and 2 computers connected from that hub to the internet. To be connected to the internet u most use your local ISP gateway, as a gateway, so if i send stuff between the 2 computers, it goes @ 12kbs.

I want to connect my fileserver to one computer in my lan. Should i add another network card to my new dell and connect it to the hub aswell, and have that nic go straight to the fileserver?

How should i do this?

THANKS!

replace your hub with a switch (~$35 for a 5 port) and you should be good to go plugging everything into the switch
