cable modems are also firewalls correct? your ip address (public) will be on the cable modem, but your computers will be on a private network (10.0.0.x, 192.168.x.x, ...). So, if the cable modems are like the DSL modems, connecting to your IP will not get you your computer, rather your modem. Ive never configed a cable modem, but if done many dsl modems (I have 2 that arent even being used...) and to set them up to use your dyn-ip, you have to forward ports from your public ip to one (or more) of your private ip's. If you only have one computer, you can forward all ports to your computer, and your dsl modem(router) becomes invisable. Can you do that sort of thing with a cable modem?
