My 2.

Buy one of those cheap Dlink or Netgear "Firewall" hubs. They have a WAN port and are configurable for the cable companies inane "everyone runs Windows" networks. They come with a DHCP server and are configurable w/any browser. The devices keep the cable co's happy and let you run anything behind them. It's worth to $30.00 imho.

Never did

I never did get around to setting my cable modem under Linux. My Linux box ate itself before I could get it running right and I havn't had time to build a new one.

I'm not quite sure what in my Linux box went. I know the power supply, motherboard, CPU, case, and CD-Rom drive are all either very old and/or flaky, so I'm not sure I care much either. I'm planning on building a new system, but I'm in the middle of rush season at work so I'm not sure if I'll get around to it before Christmas.

As for getting a little hub, it's starting to look like a good deal. I don't trust the firewall part of it, but they are cheap and if they simplify my configuration it would be worth it.
