[Greg Cook]  
I use a Cox cable modem here (its under Linux), You must set up the masquerading on which ever box is hooked to the cable box to take your private IP's and forward&&masquerade on the outgoing nic. I have a script here for Linux's firewall and masquerading I would be happy to forward if your cable modem is or can be set on the Linux box. It is 2.0.xx based ipfwadm vs ipchains in 2.2.x.


--> Actually I'm not too sure what I'm running (how do I check?) but I must have *some* sort of IP masquerading running, since this setup (using 10.0.0.0 locally but accessing the internet through the bsd gateway) was the exact same one that I used when I had the bsd box as a normal modem gateway.  The only difference now is that it's two NICs (one to the internal network and one to the cable modem) rather than a single NIC (to the internal network) and a phone modem (ppp via tun0).
