Eric, You weren't talking to me, were you? My private network is isolated from the cable network. Actually, for extra $ @home will assign you extra IP addresses, then you don't even need a gateway machine, just plug them all into a hub along with the modem.. And @home does not condone the use of a gateway to connect multiple PCs..
