There's no need to go to any specific site. just google IP ADDRESS and google will tell you your public IP which should be the one the ISP assigned to your cable modem.
As Alabalcho said - If the two cable modems have different IP's then you have two separate networks.
If they have the same IP then expect to have some major issues. Of course you probably suspected this since you would be paying for two IP's and two cable modems and it would show on your bill.

I was not promoting that web site, that's why it was as a link, not as a text. Google is not an utility (there are parts of the world where it is disabled), so I see no reason for (openly) promoting Google, and giving same "solution" as mine.

Most cable modems are also routers. A router is typically defined as a networking devices that separates broadcast domains. Your cable modems probably have some kind of firewall that allows all your devices to share one public-facing ip address. This is typically called network address translation. This is how most home use routers & modems are able to share a common network address subnet range, such as 192.168.0.1-254/24.
If you're asking whether the two cable modems are on the same public subnet, you will have to learn a bit about subnetting and CIDR notation and compare the IP Address and Subnet Mask of the two public ip addresses.
If you're asking whether the two modems are on the same private network, the answer is no.

Sorry but I did not know if that was a safe site and did not have time to check, especially when there is little need to go there in the first place. I've edited my post to give you credit for the 'solution' which I feel is the answer the OP is looking for.
