I have cox RoadRunner at cox.rr.com with a Toshiba modem and an Asante router. I don't know how similar that is to your cable system. But do you have other questions in mind? As a basic strategy, I recommend first making sure that your computers are working well together through the router. Then I would configure the main computer to work directly with the cable modem, bypassing the router, making sure that the cable system is working well. Then I would modify the settings in each computer to work through the router with the cable modem. Whereever you have the options to use DHCP, select that. Once everything is working fine, you (at least I can) can access the router's configuration screens or browser pages from any of the computers and the router doesn't care which of your computers is your "main" machine. Your router manufacturer should have explicit, detailed instructions in the box or on their web site.
