I can't understand how they can have more than one TV connected to cable and yet only one computer. I would think they will have to fix this (if it isn't already)if they want these set top boxes to work. Melissa

There are lots of ways to get multiple computers hooked up to the Internet through a single IP address (i.e., dial-up or cable Internet connection). All are a variant of something called "IP masquerading." Some hardware routers do it; Linux and Unix do it; and several Windows and Macintosh utilities do it. If you're running a PC, try wingate.net and install the software on the computer with the cable connection, then network the other computers via Ethernet to that computer (which you're probably already doing if you have +1 computer in the house). WinGate is wonderful because it works and it's cheap (or free, depending on the options you choose).

Babe & thread, "Diegueno" sent this to me and I pass it along FWIW... "I read your post on the Silicon Investor. The third problem is ONLY ONE computer can be hooked up to your home. In our home we have a couple of computers and only one can be connected to cable. There actually is a way to hook up the @home service (cable modem) to multiple computers on a LAN. A Company named Technocratix, Inc. makes a product called WebETC that allows multiple computers to be hooked up to one modem. I have the @Home service with only one IP address hooked up to Eleven computers on my LAN. They can all access the internet simultaneously. The address where you can find more info is technocratix.com This program acts as a proxy server and a firewall to protect your system. I am not a subscriber to the Silicon Investor so please pass this info along."
