Am I off base here? 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. Dan Curious about the people moderating your messages?
