Downtime whilst you're setting up would be a non issue, really.. just plug
the frog back into the windows box if you've not finished getting the rest
of the network up and running. There is a firewall on this windows box btw?

Well my smoothwall box ran out at about £20 including a new network card -
it's an old PII and does the job fine. I'd suggest the following (hope this
makes sense) INTERNET > Frog > Smoothwall box > Linksys widget > Computers.
This layout will (a) work and (b) offer a sensible level of security.
