From the supplier: Cable modems can allow computer users access to other people's systems by simply clicking the "Network Neighborhood" icon on their Windows operating system. This is because most users of cable modems are provided with a 24-hour connection as well as a fixed IP (Internet protocol) address. More importantly, most modems are installed with "file-sharing" turned on. Users in an area share this network when the modems are linked to the Internet through cable networks.
