Could you give me a few more details?
Is the Netgear a hub or a NAT router?
If router, I assume it gets a public ip on the wan, then sets up a private subnet (say, 192.168.1.0). I also assume your linksys is a broadband router/wireless ap like I have) so on the wan side you have it getting an ip address from the private pool the linksys created (ex, 192.168.1.100)and creating another private subnet (ex, 192.168.2.0) and having all of your workstations exist on that subnet. Port forwarding would have to be setup on both NAT boxes in order to get through to your pc's in this scenario.
If that is the case, I would say yes, you could use some optimization and remove a couple hops (less hops = better gameplay).
If the Netgear is a hub, then I am not sure how you could put it in front of your router unless your ISP has given you more than one public IP address (highly unlikely unless you are specifically paying for it). Both units (linksys and vt1000) would be trying to get the same IP from the dhcp server (once again, assuming your modem device handles the authentication like mine, not pppoe auth). You would want to put your hub daisychained to the private side of your nat router (once more, assuming you have more pc's than the router has connections on the back which is why you would need the hub).
Please straighten out a few of my assumptions and I'll tell you the best way (in my opinion) to setup your system.

Hmm, that's very interesting. I think I could figure out what you've

Sorry about that. The netgear is - well, WAS - a router. I decided

Holy Cow! I decided to experiment with turning the MTA into a bridge.
• wow, sorry for the mess-up.
If you were to experiment again, I would try this:
