If you use their home network "solution" (which is simply a hub) they must provide a seperate IP addy for each connected computer, which is what they're charging you for. Use a router, they can't tell from the server side.

Ah, I was wondering what the deal was. I could swear, though, that AT&T used to recommend Linksys routers and sell them right off their broadband webpage, and then still tell people to call up and order more IP#'s.

I haven't done any such thing, just hooked in a D-Link WiFi router to the cable modem and was immediately in business without telling AT&T jack...
