With my cable modem, I can switch computers, provided I release the dhcp lease before shutting down. Michael Sacco wrote:
One problem that I have run into quite frequently is that the cable modem will actually remember the mac address of the computer it was last attached to. Over here I use roadrunner broadband, and in order to connect the cable modem to another machine I have to power off the cable modem, wait a minute, and power it back on connected to the new computer. When switching back I have to do the exact same thing.

Listee's
recently moved, and am trying to hook up my 8.2 box to my roommates cable modem. i've read both the DHCP and cable modem howto's. I've cycled the modem, when I run ifconfig, i see a inet, bcast and mask address. when i try to ping yahoo, i get no host.
what should I do?
