My roommate and i are sharing a cable modem line. Basicly what we did is just buy a 6 port hub which i think cost us about 60-80 dollars and then just plug the ehternet cable coming from the modem to the uplink port and then connected the mac and pc to there own ports.
As for the ip's it depends if you are set up dhcp or if you have a static address.
if you are connected dhcp then just set the mac and pc to dhcp. and if you are set up static then you can try two things.
one is to use the same ip address and change the last number of it either one up or one down. for example if your ip address is 24.4.40.3
then just change the 3 to a 4 or a 5 or a 2. and see if that works.
the other option is to call your provider and ask for extra ip address. the only problem is that they might charge you extra for it.
if you are set up dhcp then don't call them, both computers should get there own address asigined to them.
just make sure that the dchp settings are the same.
i hope that makes sense, it is early and i still haven't drank my diet pepsi yet.
cheers.
