As a learning exercise, learning how to do IP masquerading and setting 
up a firewall/router that you can configure yourself isn't a waste of 
time.  If you want to just get the network up and running, there are 
off-the-shelf hardware solutions.

Having more control over your firewall is a plus (I've been tempted to 
put my SS5-170 into play as a dedicated firewall once I get another 
cdrom drive or take the time to set up a net boot/install from either 
my Mac or the Linux machine).
