I have an extra cable modem that I would like to use for another computer in my house to access the net. It is a Motorola SURFboard cable modem: model SB5120. Can someone tell me how to accomplish this without having to pay another monthly service charge? I realize that I could use a router and wireless card/usb adapter, but, I already have this modem and want to avoid having to buy the wireless items. Thank you.

You can't, and if you could find a work-around, that would be illegal.

The modem has to be provisioned. No cable company will do that for free.

Yeah there is no way around that, I would just buy the router and wireless cards and stuff.
