[mythtv-users] MythTV Success, Now help me optimize [OFF TOPIC]

[Joe Buehl]

I have a linux box that is my external mail/web server
that has a network card connected to the internet
(eth0) and another one to my internal LAN (eth1). 
Another machine functions as my router/firewall, so
this one does not route any traffic from one network
to the other.  Assuming you don't need the Xbox to
access the internet, this should work.
