In the olden days, cable modems would remember your connected device's MAC address. To reset that, you needed to power cycle the cable modem, and it would work fine the next time. Sometimes, people cloned the MAC address of the previous device instead. The Business Class cable modems route and have multiple LAN ports, so that's not important anymore. It isn't locked to a particular MAC address. Some of the newer cable modems (particularly if you are getting voice service) have battery backup internally to comply with reliability requirements in power outages, and power cycling doesn't help! I seem to recall there is a button or something to do the equivalent thing on those, but don't remember the details. -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
