You have to use natd (network address translation daemon), available at

     ftp://ftp.suutari.iki.fi/pub/natd

This software is also integrated into more recent distributions of
FreeBSD.

BTW, having a cable modem as you do was the original motivation for the
auther of natd (Ari Suutari) to write this software.
