There's another solution. Get yourself one of the routers that are
appearing at computer stores. I've seen a Linksys box for about $100
that works fine. It does DHCP to connect to Roadrunner and provides
four fixed IP outputs that you can connect to. The neat thing is that
four computers can use the same RR connection at the same time.
I'm doing that now with Miami Deluxe. One of my Amigas has two NICs in
it. One connects to the cable modem and the other connects to a hub.
I've got two Amigas, two Win98 machines, one Linux box and a PowerMac
all connecting via the Amiga.
