I have the Motorola SB4200 cable modem. Just installed Mandrake 9.0 and I am
new, VERY NEW to linux. I know that I can install it and connect to the
cable modem via my ethernet card but I don't want to do this as my ethernet
card connects me to the rest of the LAN. How do I install the modem?

Any ideas please?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

well connect the nic to your lan hub/switch with an ethernet cable.

You need a 2nd network card for the cable modem.

If you need whole LAN to be able to access internet through cable
modem, you need either external hub/router, or make one PC to run
ip-masquerade. (ip masquerade howto)
