 So, any suggestions on how I should set up the two NICs on the Alpha under
 NT 4.0?  
 May be possible with NT but this is screaming for Linux... what you need
 is IP masquerading, which will let all the machines hide behind one IP
 address, that of the gateway machine.  [...] 
   Or a suitable cable modem/router.  I have DSL service using a Cisco
675, routing, with a single IP address.  It can do DHCP, but I don't use
it.  I set static NAT entries for the popular ports to pass through to
my AlphaStation (running VMS), which acts as the (only) server. 
Everyone else on the home network has a static (internal-only) IP
address (10.0.0.*) and gets client access to the network using the Cisco
box's dynamic NAT, so I can do Web browsing from my Mac Plus, if I wish.

   What's your box, and what can it do?
