That means that your ISP has not set a router up for you, and that your Windows computer has a public IP. Such a solution is very expensive over here - the standard solution is that you get a router and connection your PCs to that. A few companies, like Ameritech, gives you the possibility to configure the router via a web interface, but not all companies do that. But I haven't seen a cheap standard ADSL solution, where you could assign a public IP address to a PC, yet. Most solutions I have seen with Cable, have used the 10.x.x.x IP range. Even if you got yourself a public IP address - how many PCs are sold with two NICs installed? How many people would like that they could only access the internet if a specific PC was turned on? I don't think your solution is representative. Lars.
