You could ask the cable company to give you another ip in the right
subnet. As these ip's are not routable outside the cable company, they
should have no trouble giving you two ip's in the same C-class (/24).

Or, if you can change the netmask of the router, change it to
255.255.252.0 (also on the nics) then everything will be in the same
subnet

Why do you need two IP's when the IP's are not visible from the outside?

Or are you lying and 192.168 is not the real IP's?
