Sharing cable, will Steam work?

I'm on Earthlink's High Speed Cable, and just ordered their Home Networking package that comes with a Linksys wireless router. I was hoping that in addition to being able to share files etc, my wife and I could both play on the same TFC server on our computers, simultaneously.

But, once set up, while both comps will be able to access the Internet via cable connection, the connection will ultimately go through one IP. No big surprises here, I guess, but my question is, will my wife and I be able to connect to Steam and play online at the same time through that one IP? I am not clear on whether the server identifies the player mainly by the IP, or their Steam user information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
