I only have one computer connected to the cable modem. As many as ten on the switch connected to the other NIC, but still only one connected to the cable modem. I only need one IP. And if they would do some smack down on the guys spreading viruses, I wouldn't need that one so much to protect me.

The loophole here is that they say nothing about hooking a computer up to that first one and routing access.
