Home Networking with a One Way Cable Modem?

Posted by Cliff on from the routing-around-the-problem dept.

Blacklotuz asks: "I recently networked the computers in my house with a Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router. Today I called up Comcast to order cable internet service, but because I live in a rural area we still have downstream only cable. I was told that in order to use the service I would have to connect the cable modem to the ethernet card on my computer as well as dialing up via the 56k modem. Im running Windows XP on the computer that will be dialing up. Does anyone know of a way to use a one way cable connection with a router?"

    I don't think he can do that, the internet is already hooked to my computer and I'm not done with it.

    So, you're the bastard that's holding thing up. I wanted to download the internet onto my computer last night but the internet was down.
