It wasn't too hard. I used 2 network cards, (ed0 and ep0). For the @home connection card I used the IP they assigned me. For the local connection card I used the "private" IP, 192.168.1.1. Then I set my PCs to use other private IPs, 192.168.1.2, .3, .4, etc. I had to configure the kernel for firewall options and run natd (name address translator daemon). The man page for natd explains how to do this. The biggest problem I had was discovering that everytime I plugged the cable modem into a different network card I had to power cycle it, otherwise all accesses got rejected. best of luck.
