Okay, all you need to do in that instance is plug up the office side to Ether2 and connect the cable modem to Ether1. Then, instead of typing in the bits for the PPP profile and PPPoE client. You'd need to do something like:

Code:
/ip dhcp-client add interface=ether1 disabled=no


You should be good to go. If you need to spoof your MAC address:

Code:
/interface ethernet set ether1 mac-address=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
