need help for home network set up.

[g386]

Hi all,
I have two PCs and one cable modrem in my network. The way I connecting them together is like this. I use a hun to connect two PCs together (by the way I use 10/100 Mb fast ethernet cards and hun). The cable modrem is connected to the uplink port in the hun. I also use a software call "All Aboard!" to turn one PCs to server and the other one to client. That way the two PCs can share the one internet connection. Now is working fine. The question I have is will my network do better if I use one more NIC to connect the modrem to the server PC instead of connect to the hun?
Thank you for your time.
Keith

On a two machine network I wouldn't think so -- unless you are transferring heavy files between the two at the same time. I would make the box with the fastest processor the server and make sure you have a good firewall to protect both.
