If I connect my Windows-LAN with the Internet by using a Linux-Gateway
(SUSE 6.1, Kernel 2.2.13, IP-Masq, Firewall, Modem or Cablemodem), can
my ISP detect that I am surfing on more than one PC at the same time?

Is there something that betrays me?

Is it possible for my ISP to get the information by "sniffing"? 


Thanx, Klartext

Good news for you, no.  The linux kernel rewrites all the packet headers so
it looks like its coming from one machine.
