Well, now don't I look like an ass. He buys the hub, brings it home, I'm all ragging him that it's not going to work. I bet him a beer. He plugs it in. It works. If you can read this, it's still working as I type. Each of our computers is now directly connected to the internet, with its own global IP and everything. Only thing I can figure, Comcast must not be paying much attention to how many people are connecting from each house, even though they claim it's $5/month extra for each separate IP you want to connect after the first one. I figured they would watch that closely but I guess not.
Upside: Bittorrent works a lot faster now because we're not behind a router.
Downside: I'm out a beer.
Yeah, I can live with that.
