Jw,

I have a cable modem...but I do also have a dial-up isp as a backup...

but I don't use it only in the event my cable goes down.

I have gone to start/run/winipcfg and that tells me my ip address and stuff,

I was reading the article Mr. Mark posted and it said my subnet address should be the same. It's not? Actually the IP address is slightly different also so I guess my concern isn't the problem..

Is this scenario possible?

2 computers are networked together (A & B). Computer A has an external cable modem. B is sharing the IP.

If the cable goes down... and B has an internal 56k modem connected to its own phone line.. Can computer B connect to its own ISP?

All,

Actually in his case he is using a cable modem which seems to support multiple hosts on its ethernet interface via DHCP. Dave Hansons cable modem setup works this way. THe key for him is to switch over to Netbeui for MS networking which solves many problems which I won't discuss. The discussion changes with Sygate. I personally would consider adding firewall software like Sygate but using Netbeui decreases the hackability of your machine significantly.
