I dunno. We got rid of ComCast last month and replaced it with FIOS,
and the box Verizon gave us is a Nat box. I'm running three
Macintoshes and a Linux machine behind it, and my roommates have two
Vista boxes :-(
AFAIK we're all running off a single IP address.

I don't believe I've ever seen anything in the Comcast TOS that
prohibits NAT devices. In fact, I do believe Comcast will provide
you a NAT box (at a cost) if you tell them you intend to hook up
multiple machines to the cable modem.
My mistake. I haven't actually used Comcast myself, but I do remember
that Verizon had something along those lines when I used it a few
years ago. I'm reading the Comcast ToS now; it's good to know that
they allow NATs at least.
