This is a guess but if your "modem" only handles one IP address at a time then your not going to be able to do that without buying a "home gateway" which will consolidate all your local IP's into one IP for the "modem." This is commonly the way both DSL and Cablemodems work. They have to have a "Home gateway" between them and multiple PC's/Mac's/etc. You need to see if your Dynmode(sp?) has what is called "NAT" (Natural Address Translation) as well as the ability to provide local IP addresses. If it doesn't you will need that "home gateway" box I was talking about.
Some "modems" are also "home gateways" and will do what you need without adding another box. It sounds like you need to contact "tech support" for that both your "modem" and the Dynamode networking system to see if either will do the "home gateway" thing.

You can't connect multiple computers to a modem. You need a router. If you post a NEW question with more information I may be able to help further with advice as to what to do next.
