But it is overkill for a simple network.. it makes little sense to use it as a transparent filter like that, you might as well consolidate the NAT and firewall onto one system, preferably something more manageable than the ISP brick.
That's one reason I dislike DSL providers though, they eliminated the PPP dailers and merged the modem with a SOHO router.. effectively forcing NAT on people.
My cable modem assigns public IP's using DHCP.
