I've got a cable modem, and I'm getting adsl. The cable modem has one static ip, and I'm getting 8-16 ip's with the cable modem. The cable modem is much faster than the ADSL is going to be, but I need the ADSL for the static ip's.

Can I set up a router outside my pix 506 to share the internet connections?

Thanks!
 
where is your PIX in this config? I assume as you have posted on this forum you have one somewhere! What you can do is use port address translation which basically mean anyone on the inside can have a private IP address not seen by the outside world which is translated by the PIX to a fixed ip address ie the one provided by your cable/adsl provider which is what the rest of the world does see.

You can either use a single IP for PAT or specify a range of ip ie the 8 - 16 you said you might have for NAT.
