Re: Vitural Network Interfaces

As far is the cable internet and router is concerned
Box A =  eth0 --192.168.0.1 -->|router (port 1)| -->206.196.128.1:1 ->internet
Box B =  eth0 --192.168.0.2 -->|router (port 2)| -->206.196.128.1:2 ->internet

and the LAN would still be 192.168.0.x?
Would you need to add a hub between router and the boxes?

TIA,
David
