Depends on what you want to do.  There are a few options.  Number one is to
buy a cable modem router.  NetGear RT314 is suitable for this.  Number two
is to plug into uplink (or use crossover) on your hub/switch.  This way you
will have to register the MAC address of all client PC's you wish to
connect.  Blueyonder have a limit of 5 MAC addresses.  Number 3 is to use a
dual NIC setup with software routing (Windows/Mac/Linux).  Personally I
wouldn't go for proxy unless it was going to do full on IP routing,
allowing
port mapping/filtering, etc.  However, I do have a cacheing proxy to speed
up (even more) oft used web sites.
