Our adsl and cable providers here give you two ips - so I go:

  Cable Modem ---> Hub ----> split to two seperate routers

Also, the speedstream 2624 gives you options to allow the wireless clients
to :

 Access the internet only
 Access the internet AND other computers on the network.

I was amazed to find this feature in a router i paid $ 25 for on ebay - up
to that point i was looking at a $ 600 sonicwall tzo.

Check the different router specs - i think maybe dlink has the same feature
(but dont quote me on that).
