I agree with Bit Twister as long as your requirement is
only one box connecting through the linux box then no
hub or switch is required.
Buy a typical crossover cable or block to go win to linux
then the other linux card to the internet.
The minute you add more machines it changes :)

This crossover just crosses the rx/tx connections so
the input of one is connected to the output of the other
and vice versa.

Hope this helps good luck!
