So, all you would need to do is set up the machine that is connected to the cable modem to grab the IP address from the DHCP server of Rogers and you should be good to go. In order to set up the dhcp setting in your NIC card, you have to go to /stand/sysinstall and choose the external interface and then have it scan for DHCP servers. When it finds the DHCP server, it will automatically configure the interface for you. Then, all you have to do is configure the internal routing, as the external routing is done for you.
