Use the WAN for the cable modem and the LAN for the local network, the WAN port is 10T and the LAN port is 100T, your cable modem will not max out 10T so you are better off keeping the faster port for local traffic.

Do you have the box "enable Ethernet Bridging" in the AirPort admin utility checked?
