I know there is the issue of a dynamic IP address, but
maybe they can issue me a static one.


Does it make any difference whether you have a static or dynamic address? The biggest complaint I have heard about cable modems is your are always on. If you are always on, a dynamic address essentially becomes a static address.

But is there a easy way to get internet access to multiple computers without paying them extra for multiple IP's? Can this only be done by running Sygate or similar on one of my workstations? I would prefer a separate hardware solution, since internet access doesn't rely on the PC that runs sygate.

What type of output signal does a cable modem provide? It seems like once one answer this question then the answer to your question will be obvious.
