I have adsl that uses dhcp connecting my lan. Works fine for me. My gateway machine has two nics - one gets it ip via dhcp from the isp, the other is an invalid ip for the lan. Setup masqing and firewalling rules and a cacheing dns server and point the other machines to look to the masqing machine as their gateway and everything works great.

Hi all!
Raise your hand if you have cable modem, use DHCP cuz yer provider hands out dynamic addresses, and have 2 or more machines on a private net (eg, 192.168.0.0/16) talking through a masqerading box (that speaks DHCP to your provider to get its "to the rest of the world" address), hence sharing the cable.
Now... of those that have your hand(s) raised, does it work well? Problems? Hurdles? Comments appreciated. :)
PS -- I'd be using a SuSE 6.2 box for the masquerading/DHCP stuff, kernel 2.2.15.
