There are 2 ways you can do this.

The easiest way is to go and purchase a small cable modem hub/router. They make ones specifically for this purpose.
Attach the cable modem, server, and workstation to the hub.
You will program the hub/router with your IP address that you were given to use on your workstation.
You can then assign an ip address to both your server and workstation, I would use the 192.xxx.xxx.xxx range, they are used for internal networks.
Put your hub/router ip address as your default gateway.
As your subnet mask, put 255.255.255.0.
Now both computers will have use of the modem.

The other way is to create a peer-peer network between the server and workstation, then setup a proxy server on the computer that has the cable modem attached to it.

Good luck
