Does Anypoint support a shared @Home cable line, as they only give you 1 FIXED IP address, and if you want more, you have to pay. Will it "share" my single fixed IP of my main, cable modem equipped computer I have 4 PC's to connect, so how many do I need ? I'd suggest that if you have an otherwise-almost-useless (compared to today's tech) 486-33 sitting around that you run Linux on it and use IP Masquerading to share your one fixed IP address across your network. @Home need never know that there's more than one machine using the connection. I'm doing this for three Win98 machine + one Linux machine on a dial-up and it works fine. I'm a techie but not a Linux expert and the available on-line HOW-TOs were sufficient for me to get everything working. (BTW, I'm not sure how fast a line that an old 486 can handle without slowing things down but I was told that Linux on a 486-33 could handle cable modem speeds. I believe that was on one of the Linux threads here.) I understand that Win98SE has this capability also (at least for dial-ups) but I haven't used it so I can't comment on it.
