Connecting through a cable modem ...

[Napolean Dynamite]

Thanks William.

This is Comcast using a Motorola SB5100. Unfortunately I do not have
access to the modem to research it more thoroughly, but from what I can
tell, it may provide DHCP server capabilities. It gets an IP address
from Comcast (24.60.195.x), but the PC has a DHCP assigned address of
192.168.100.1.

Thanks,

Mike

What cable service?  What brand and model of modem?  Does it have a web
interface?
