Feel free to slap me or whatever if this doesn't have a whole lot to do with what you're talking about. But... I have two computers using a single cable modem connected through a switch. Yet both computers have different EXTERNAL IP addresses. Their local IPs are also there, of course. From what I read (and no, I didn't read it all, so again, feel free to slap me), you seem to think that it's impossible for two computers to have a different external IP address through a single modem. My configuration seems to say otherwise.
