NAT on the same interface

Hi there.

Is there a way I could get FS to provide NAT over the very same interface?

I'd like to reuse an old PC, with no more than 1 pci-slot (a mini-atx
MoBo), which is been used with an ethernet nic (and works well). It
also has USB 1.0 ports, but the cablemodem I'm using has USB 2.0
interface, so I just can't get it to work with the CDT-Ethernet
configuration via usbnet driver.

So I was planning to connect:

Cablemodem ----- hub ---- server (eth0 & eth0:0)
                                |____ lan clients (via eth0:0)

I know users cuold change manually their IP conf, but if they do so,
then they could loose all the other services provided by the server
(also a file & printing service), as well as the firewall protection.

The text is somewhat confusing, I know, but I hope it is understandable...

I've tried to do it with FS, but it doesn't shows the eth0:0
interface, so it claims no nat will be done...

BTW: I'm already looking for a 2nic pci card, but I just can't locate
any vendor nearby...

Thanx
