Craig,
PMFJI, but I use Comcast@home and have three machines sharing the cable modem using Wingate. In fact, I am using Wingate 4.0 beta 2 which supports Network Address Translation (NAT) which seems to work better than the client approach they use in Wingate 3.x. I am also using BlackICE Defender as a firewall on the box connected to the cable modem, so if they were checking for anything on my system, they would see nothing.....
