Well... many DSL and cable modems in the USA are only equipped to hand out DHCP
to only one device, and will not talk to devices plugged-in after that.
If it has only one network port, it probably will only talk to one device.
If it has four ports, it is no doubt a modem plus a firewall/router, and
will support four devices.
