Your network can be setup physically anyway you want.

The server (computer running ICS) needs a separate "device" to connect to the 
internet than it uses to connect to the internet.

If you use a dial-up connection, you will need a NIC connecting the server to 
the LAN and the modem connecting to the Net.

If you have a cable modem, you most likely use a NIC (network interface card) 
to connect to the cable modem.  Or the cable modem itself is a NIC.  This NIC 
cannot be the one which connects the server to the LAN (your network).  So, 
you'll need two NICs then -- one connecting to the LAN and one connecting to 
the Net.

If you want to use a HUB, you can.  You just need to make sure you have your 
DNS settings in the clients properly designated.  I know it all sounds rather 
complex, but it's not.  


Most likely you already have everything setup properly already.
