Here's my setup.  I have a cable modem too.  Linux box is running Proxy ( I
therefore need only one IP address).  One network card in Linux box connects
to cable modem.

Second NIC goes to one of the ports on the hub.  All other PCs at home
connect to the hub also and use the proxy.  Therfore, I can access the
Internet through all PCs with a single IP address.  Furthermore, they are
all networked and can share my printers and files.

For your internal network, you can use DHCP or static addresses.  Since they
connect to the Internet via a proxy server, use any addresses you want.
