I`m no too sure about that .....
I`ve never had any issues whatsoever in that department using ics( IP Masquerading) via iptables in Linux.I`ve never used Windows to
do the ICS but there is an XP drive on another pc that receives it just fine.
IF(and it`s a big IF) we
are getting the full 20Mb through the modem though then every pc/os around the house is quite capable of receicving it too.
I`m not saying dont use a router of course but ICS for
us has been great for our particular situation.
We have 2 seperate broadband connections which was really the only reason we never bothered with a router,when it was just the 2 pc`s that is.
I have complete control over both bb connections from right here so i can easily route whatever one i want round the rest of the house(older kids rooms & lounge).
Depending on whos using which pc though everything webside is easily restricted as appropriate....or permitted
if appropriate to be more precise.
I`m very conscious of what our young girls do online so
being their router/firewall/gateway suits me just fine
