Setting up network

I'm in need of some advice in setting up my network at home. Here is
what I have so far.

HUB
/ \
/ \
Waxman Tux

Internet----

My internet connection (from my cable provider) is 24.4.120.6. Waxman
and Tux are my two machines with ip's of 129.168.1.1, .2 respectivly.
Anyway, can I take the internet straight into my hub, or must I run in
through it's own nic?

If I can run it through the hub, what sort of security implications does this
cause?

I plan on using ip masq on the internal network.

Finally, I've obtained the domain "choover.ml.org" for my ip. With this
configuration, would it be possible for me to allow access to both
machines from the net (i.e. my being able to telnet to both machines
when I'm at work)?

TIA,

Chris
