Actually Joe, it can easily be setup to use the same nic for both the lan and
the cable modem, basically you gave the nic 2 names or aliases, one refers to
the cable modem connection and one to the network. Takes a little bit of work
to setup, but except for the fact that you only have one NIC, there is really no
difference.
