well if you have any experience with Linux you could set up the 486 as a router as opposed to using a dedicated proxy server...

Or just get a router and connect the hub you already have to it..

I would personally recommend Linksys's router it runs about $89 dollars has the firewall software, its a DHCP server so you don't have to worry about setups... Plug in your Broadband connection plug your hub directly into the router and set you network connections to Automatically assignment using DHCP and your good to go. You can have it up and running in under 30 minutes.
