I have a friend that is considering moving in a rented house renting out a room for himself. The owners of the house already has Comcast internet, but do not want to share it. The friend still has his activated Comcast modem and lives in the same neighborhood as the house he's considering moving into. The question he asked me which I still can't get a good answer is:
If he hook up his modem on the same cable line as the owners, will his modem issue him a different ip address?
Please don't ask my why he want to do this. Don't say from him to get DSL or other alternatives. I just want to know if he can get on the internet on the same cable line and be issued a different ip address. Do not say for him to run another dedicated line through Comcast. I am just asking is this possible? Thanks in advanced.
