2Wire HomePortal 1000HW from DSL for a Cable setup ?

Hi Folks,



Moved and went from DSL to cable. Attached stuff into a switch

and couldn't get everything to work like it did on DSL. Got hold of

the cable company and just what I expected - you can't have more then

one computer because it only has 1 IP address UNLESS you change to (1)

a network plan that gets you one additional IP address and then you

can buy additional IP addresses or (2) upgrade to the home network

plan that gets you 256 addressed...



So no switch or hub per them but apparently a router will be OK. Well

I have a 2Wire HomePortal 1000HW that we had some years ago. Will this

work for what I need and how do I need to set it up ?



Thanks !



Chuck
