Okay, Here is what I want to do.

I have a Linksys BEFSR41 router that I'm using for two pc's networked behind my cable modem. My issue is that the router sucks when it comes to letting me host games ( battlefield 1942, America's Army, Ghost Recon, Etc. If people connect, they will be disconnected within 5 minutes or so. I troubleshooted it for about 18 months now and Ive been unable to figure out how to configure it so that it won't disconnect. Anyway, I'm wanting to set up a fileserver/Game hosting PC and I'm wondering if I can have the cable modem feed directly to the server pc, then have an additional NIC card patched to the router for the other two PC's

Would this be practical, or would there be an easier way to do it?

Thanks in advance for the help!
