What you ask (using static IPs) happens _all_ the time.
Why not use fixed IPs in your internal LAN? Have a laptop that
you travel with?
What I would do is set up 1 PC with 2 NICs. eth0 goes to the
cable modem, and eth1 (IP = 192.168.1.1) goes to your hub.
On 2nd PC, it's eth0 (IP = 192.168.1.2) also is plugged into the
hub. It's gateway route must be 192.168.1.1.
You'll need firewall (either ipchains or iptables) on machine #1's
eth0 that also ipmasqs machine #2.
