My modem is also connected to the uplink port with a straight
cable.  Until a couple of weeks ago, I had both computers
configured with a static IP and everything was working fine. Then
something happened and I can not longer have both connected at
the same time to the internet, even though the computers talk to
each other just fine and can each connect to the internet when
the other is not connected. 

Last night, I was on the phone with @Home tech support for over
an hour, getting bumped to a higher level of support three times.
They were supposed to do further research and call me back
tonight. But I did not get a call. 

@Home tech support said that the Motorola CyberSurfr Wave (unlike
some other models) cannot be configured to accept only one IP.
However, this seems to be exactly what has happened. Does anyone
know for sure?
