Comcast in this part of the world doesn't offer static IP addresses... cheaply anyhow. :( Still with a router, all the provider is going to see is a single device connected to the modem. I... ahem "have heard of" folks having 8 or more machines behind their router without problem.

Should be able to plug everything in and go. You can get cable modems with routers but a standard modem isnt going to have it I prefer my modem and router to be separate anyway. And I'm sure that she will not be doing anything that will use much bandwidth. And if they have that much there's plenty. Louis .com -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
