As I read the above, your modem is one with a built-in router. If that is correct, great! You have a hub. For most uses a switch is better, but for a small number of computers a hub will be fine and you likely will not see the difference (unless it's a 10mb/s hub and is keeping you from running at 100 mb/s between local computers. Internet speed will not be affected in any case.) So what are you wanting to do with ICS that the router and hub are not already doing for you better?
