I have only a cable modem, it is not even a real router (it has no internal
firewall for example) although i use it for phone and internet.

Strange. The Macs and PCs use the same DHCP protocols to get an address. Is
this going right from the router to the Mac or do you have a
firewall/NAT/wireless thing inbetween. If it is direct then sometime the cable
modem reads the hardware address of your computer and needs a full power cycle
to let go and read a new one.

Hello, my macbook pro arrived this morning via ups I must say its quick, i
ordered 8 days ago via bank transfer and a custom configuration.
Everything works fine although i get lost in a few dialogs.
I cant connect to the internet htough. I use a cable modem and udner
windows i can just push in the network cable and I am ready to go. Not so now
htough.
Any idea of what routers work best with the mac? I was thinking of getting
a linksis pre-n router, will that work?
If i just configure the touter right and it works on the pc should i also
just be able to plug it into the mac for it to work?
