Excellent instructions. Very much like what Ive done. I have a 5 machine network and a router. Win95, Win95se, WinME, WinXPhome, and a Debian Linux Server. Well except for DHCP. I didnt go that route. I agree whole heartedly with ZoneAlarm

But what I was HOPING to see was something I havent messed with yet but was considering... how to setup SEIV for a multi-machine hotseat play.

I havent looked at how SEIV does its games yet but based on Dominions2 experience Im guessing that there is some way to share the game-save directory and set the host to process immeadately on receiving the Last players turn-file. Its probably real simple but like I said I havent RTFM'd yet.
