Both times I set up cable modems on unix, they had a single IP.  The power
cycle rule applied for the single-IP config on the old (big) motorola, and
the new (small) motorola on Comcast cable system in Baltimore County, MD,
and to the system in Norfolk VA.  

In both cases, we set up a BSD machine with two ethernet cards.  One
connected to teh cable modem directly, the other connected to the LAN (LAN
side is 100mbit too).  The unix machine took on the real IP, and the
100mbit network was configured with NATD (illegally for @home, but who
cares).

Or, if you've got connected friends, an encrypted tunnel to their network
could be a handy thing..

Sounds like you should build an ipfw firewall which disallows connections
from the @home network. That way unless they portscan from an external
host, they'll never know..
