A friend of mine was told by Adelphia that if he wanted to share his cable
internet access with other computers in his home, it would cost an extra
$24.95 per month per computer. I was under the impression that when you have
a network with one computer as the gateway connected to the internet, the
client computers have their own internal IP addresses that can't be seen by
the outside world. Only the gateway computer has an external IP address.
What's to stop him from setting up his own network and sharing the
connection? How would anyone know? I've heard of people buying secondary
static IP addresses for additional computers and this makes no sense to me
either. Doesn't just the gateway have to have the external address?

Thanks in advance,

Dennis Thiel
