MACs & cable modems...

[cdoerbec at cso.fmr.com (Christoph Doerbeck A242369)]

Greetings fellow techno weenies,

My brother-in-law who lives out in South Hampton recently got
digital cable & a cable modem (Toshiba ??X1000) from Charter (?).

Anyway, his house is loaded with Apple Macs & is broadband connection
is painfully slow (downloads at around 36k).

Are there any Mac wizards that have some pointers as to what might
be misconfigured?   I'm planning to swing by his place again next
weekend with a cable router and my laptop to trouble shoot his
configuration, but I hoping for the blatantly obvious 
"Chooser->TCPIP->xxxxxxx" tip which makes his system work better.

tips?
