	In my experience with @home (both in Toronto, and in Nashville,
never used a cablemodem in Texas), they require DHCP for the clients,
simply copying the auto-assigned Windows IP/GW/Etc won't work (Cablerouter
thingy remembers MAC addr of NIC who DHCP'd the IP).  Try running "dhcpcd
eth1" on the Linux boxen (assuming you want eth1 to be the interface
connected to cablemodem), and see what you get.  Best of luck!
