Not sure about how much config you want to do or are capable of doing 
but if your 'modem' truly is just a modem then a simple-ish way to go, 
without added expense, is to install 'Shorewall' onto your new debian 
installation.

This gives you routing and firewall protection.

It's likely though that your 'modem' is not just a modem as your other 
hardware will need to be getting dhcp and dns from somewhere and if you 
haven't configured it, it must be from what you think is just a 'modem'.

Mike.
