Well... remember... you need to buy a second nic card and a hub also (both methods).

So, you spend $10 extra a month when you could spend $30 for win proxy and then spend $0 extra a month. What if you want 3 couputers on the internet... now it's an extra $20 a month. That's $240 a year when a $30 - $50 software product would do the same thing.

Or a free product (Linux) put up on that old 486 I am sure we all have or could get for little to nothing. Granted, you would need a nic card for the Linux machine.. but you can get one for $12 at Tiger Direct.
