Hello,
I will try explain it clearly.
e-net catv enet enet
PC-box ------- cable modem ------ com controller ------ gateway -----
131.174.118.146 131.174.116.7
Between the PC-box and the gateway it is a ethernet connection (no PPP),
and the PC-box is NOT a gateway itself (for example a home-lan).
I hope it is specific enough to answer this question.
Thanks.
Hans.
