"Just how do I connect a PC and a Mac to my cable modem without them
actually
being 'networked' together?"
Curious to know why you don't want to network them? Your printer comment
seems to refer to a common A/B switch or print server device and I am not
aware of such a device for computers and broadband connections. There are
however, relitavely inexpensive home based broadband router/firewall deals
out there...basically protecting/hiding your computers from the internet,
yet sharing your connection to the world, without changing plugs each time
you want a machine to have access. Inside...for another layer of protection,
maybe run a free personal firewall...there are a few good one out there.
