Can I connect more than one computer to a cable modem?
         
Yes, a cable modem can deliver Internet access to several computers, assuming they're connected via a local area network (LAN).

Cable modems typically have an Ethernet output, so they can connect to the LAN with a standard Ethernet hub/switch. In this configuration, each PC is assigned an IP address.

You also can run several PCs through a single IP address using Proxy server software, such as WinGate, Win proxy, MS proxy or through an Internet-sharing device.

If you plan to use your computer's file- and printer-sharing functions, we encourage you to install a proxy sever or Internet-sharing device with a firewall between the cable modem and your LAN.

That will ensure maximum protection from hackers and other intruders.
