You do only get one IP address from NTL, which is quite likely to be your problem, what you need is a router in between your cable modem and your MAC's.

If you do already have a router in between them (you say you have wireless so you might) then you need to set up the ethernet MAC to accept an IP address via DHCP.

The single IP Address from NTL is then assigned to the router and the router then assignes both MAC1 and MAC2 an IP address from a different, probably 192.168.x.x range and "routes" your private 192.168.x.x range out to the Internet via your NTL Ip Address.
