Bob, Your response to this question brought up a question of my own. Currently I have two computers and a cable modem all connected together with a hub. Unfortunetly I am not able to connect to the internet on the second computer. I have been told that I need to contact the cable company so they can configure the account for two computers. I have also been told that if I use two network cards in the host computer (one for the other computer and one for the modem) and get rid of the hub, I should be able to connect to the internet on both computers without any "intervention" from the cable company. Is this correct?
