I already talk to my local @home provider, the way they do it is to add a
hub and give us an extra IP address for the second computer. We have
to provide the hub. They will connect a cable from the Cable modem to
the hud and each computer is also connect to the hub. I guess If we run
a Proxy Server, IP address is assign internally(incorrect networking
terminology, I'm not a network guy). Another question is whether @home
will get upset if they found out we do it the proxy way.
