Oh! Cable! Was talking of PPPoE. On the cable you are a member of a local LAN segment with it's own pool of addresses. Any NIC on your home LAN would be an ISP assigned address. Until you set up a NAT. Better wait for your router (which will have NAT). But as said many times before, ISPs currently sniff for the physical MAC addresses and will most likely bust you out if they detect more than the (fine print) allowed connections. In the expectation of your router, I would disable TCP/IP and stay with NetBEUI for the local LAN. Or upgrade your subscription <ng>. I traded my cable for an xDSL provider some months ago. When I checked the subscription some weeks ago, I discovered that they installed a new plan for services with more than 1 simultaneous connection. In plain business, this would be a case for the court: when I subscribed, there was (a written) no limit to the connections.
