Hi,

Only way that I am aware to run a second cable modem would be to have the
cable company install (know about) it and charge you for it, as they have
MAC addresses that they turn service on and off to.

If you do not want to run lines, then you can go a wireless router with
wireless adapters on the computers.  I am running the lynksys 4 port
wireless router (11mbps -$140.00) and have 4 systems running through it
with no problem at all.  I think it will handle up to 128 wireless
connections.

There is a way to use existing wires in the house through a phone-net setup
to link the computers together inexpensively, but it is not very fast (1mbps).







God Bless America!
