If you make yourself a linux-based firewall (virtually free - a P90 would be
overkill) then you can have one interface lead to the cable modem, one lead
to your network, and a third lead to the kids network. You're networks are
nicely seperate - your kids might get completely owned and your machines
would still be safe.
The only potential problem is that one of your requirements is that all
machines can access each other. With the setup I described, you place a
firewall between your kids network and your own network. If a firewall isn't
too restrictive, then you should be good. If it is, then prepare to get
owned as soon as your kids do.
