I think we require quite a bit more information. Do you have an internal cable modem, an external modem connected via a NIC? If it is external, is it one-way (requires a phone line for the upstream) or is it a two-way connection? One-way connections usually have a static ip on an internal LAN IP address (i.e. 192.168.100.1 as the gateway to your internal LAN) and two-way modems usually use DHCP and you are directly assigned the IP address. I have no idea how the internal modems work, but I would guess that it would be roughly analogous.
