    was going to remove the linux box that I have doing it now at home and see how well xp handles it. The only problem that I have is I don't want to enable internet connection sharing for the cable modem

It will assign IP's if your using ICS though. if you just want to hand out IP's then you can install a third party app to act as a the DHCP server. If linux is handling it, you may want to keep that, otherwise you'd have to move to windows2000 server in order to get a native DHCP server to hand out just IP's.

    If it's a small network, use ICS or assign all systems with a static IP.
