My setup is designed for a college dorm room--Ive yet to test in in its final environment and will update this page as I do and as I get things to work. The goal was a low-cost (~$400 USD) hybrid that could be expandable/upgradable as more cash becomes available and as I understand linux and LinuxMCE more and more.

Basic network setup:

College/Home Network---Cat5---Hybrid

                                                              > NIC1 (External Network)
                                                              > NIC2 (Internal Network)
                                                                                ----Macbook Pro/Windows laptops
                                                                                ----Any other ethernet devices
