Why exactly wouldn't a gigabit router (whose uplink port is connected to my cable modem) be able to handle DHCP duties, and allow gigabit transfers between connected machines at the same time? By having that extra hop to handle DHCP, what caveat of this whole system is being avoided?
Assuming you're correct, the extra router you mention would not have to be gigabit, right? So then I could just have a normal router attached to my modem, then a gigabit hub between that router and my machines... that might not even be any more expensive then, since I won't have to fork over the dough for a gigabit *router*, just a hub.
Thanks for the info.
