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.
I wasn't saying it's impossible. I'm just going by a typical setup. Your ISP CAN assign more than one IP address to a single cable modem, but they typically don't do that. It does usually cost additional money for that. The reason they usually only assign one per modem is because they want you to buy cable modems for each machine you plan to have connected.
