Can I hock-up two cable modems to two separate PC's too
get internet on both, or will it not work because each
Modem as a separate MAC:address? IF "ON" is there a way to
MAKE IT WORK.
Your ISP will be glad to rent a second connection to you, at the
same price as your first connection.
Or, you can buy a router/switch, then connect the cable modem to
the router's WAN port and connect the PCs to LAN ports on the
router, and let the router do NAT (Network Address Translation)
for each of your PCs so that they can concurrently access the
net.
Or, you can use ICS (software routing) instead of hardware routing
to accomplish the same thing, at slightly lower cost but with lower
reliability. One PC (host) needs two NICs: one for the cable modem
and one to connect to the other (client) PC via either a crossover
cable or a hub/switch and a pair of standard patch cables.
