Here is a schematic, I think it'll be clearer.

+--------------+
| Cable Modem  |

|    Router    |     +--------------+
+--+--+--+--+--+     + Sun Ultra 2  +--+ s
   |  |              +--------------+  | e
   |  |                                | r

   |  +--------------+    ATHLON    +--+ a
+--+-----------+     +--------------+    l
|   Pentium 4  |

By "connect directly", I mean connecting the Athlon and the Sun by
Ethernet without the intermediary of the router...
