Hi ,
In ur case the best and easiest way is to get IP's for all your machine from
the ISP to whom u r connected. U can request to your cable modem service provider to
give u IP's for all the internal machines.
Connect the cable modem directly to the Hub (check for uplink port at the Hub for
straight thru connection, else use cross over). Inturn connect all the machines to the
same hub. If your ISP provides DHCP, then conf. all ur machines to dhcp otherwise take
the IP's, DNS entries and default gateway ip from ISP and conf. the same in ur
systems.
Usually Cable modem ISP's won't be having problem giving u extra IP's, why I know is
I'm working for a Cable modem ISP. :). We used to provide IP's as the customer needs.
regards
Vinu Chandran
