I've installed networks, but have no experience with cable access. So....

We use cable as our ISP (Cableone is the company) as well as for our TV. This works fine here in the duplex, although we only have one computer hooked up to it right now.

But in the house, we'll have two computers going and I want to have both hooked up to the cable interface. I intend to buy my own cable modem, and I have a Bay Stack 4-port hub, cat 5 cables, etc. Here are the questions:

1. Do I also need a cable router? If so, would I be correct in assuming the sequence would be modem -> router -> hub?

2. I want to split the cable connection (at the cable equivalent of the demarc) so that part goes to the TV and part goes to the Internet. How do I do this? Will a simple splitter work, or will I need some special sort of thing?

3. What else do I need to know?

We'll be continuing on DHCP (at least until IPv6 becomes standard), so IP addressing shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks!
