Cable modems pull the signal from a coax line and turn it into an ethernet
signal that comes out of a single RJ-45 plug.
I dunno squat about what goes on inside of those boxes, but routers typically
have a WAN port and a bunch of “internal” ports that are all RJ-45 plugs.

*well* supported and hunt on ebay, or go to a thrift shop and search this

Most consumer routers won't, but the nice part is most older router

address. Either way, it can only listen to one IP. They do run DHCP from the
local hubs, but the IPs themselves rarely change, and you’re sharing them with
the whole neighborhood.

Hi,
Was looking at the raspberrypi this morning and it brought me to the
same place I have come to several times in the post.
I have a business account with Cox Cable which allows me to run 1 or
more servers. Last year I used an old laptop to make a web server using
Ubuntu, Apache, MySQL, P
