Chuck,

Go to your nearest electronics store and get a firewall that does NAT
(Network address translation) that will help protect you and make your
entire network apear to be one ip device. I'm not at home right now or I'd
tell you what kind I have.

Or setup an IPCop firewall....it just takes an old machine with 2 NIC's and
you'll have a very robust firewall that will also hide your home network
from the cable company.

Hope your company isnt comcast. They suck.

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
