Thanks --
I assumed that I would need the 2514 -- (2 ethernet ports) -- which I have!
As far as configuring DHCP on the router -- I noticed that the PC that I
have attached to the cablemodem at present -- is configured to have a DHCP
server provide an ip address -- which is renewed with a different address
every three days (Road Runner). So I would think that since the Road Runner
cablemodem will be attached to the e0 port -- that it will need to have an
address assigned to it from Road Runner -- thus why I would set it up with
as a dhcp client.
I would also need to configure NAT for the PCs in my network -- I think!
Does this make sense??

Greg,
You definitely need a router that has tow ethernet ports as the cable modem
interfaces to ethernet and you will need ethernet to go to either a hub or
switch (if you have more than one system) or to your system.
You shouldn;t need to configure DHCP on the Cisco router as the cable modem
should be functioning as a DHCP client if your ISP uses dynamic client
config.
You may want to configure the Cisco router to function as a DHCP server
though.. (check IOS versions that may support this).
Good Luck,
Curtis
