I can hook up a new device to my modem with no problem, as long as I power cycle the modem first. Apparently, from some of the notes I'm reading, some ISPs lock you in to a single mac address, as you're describing. Not the case with my ISP or, apparently, with James Knott's.
To further obfuscate the situation, my roadrunner uses the modem's mac address. If I change modems, I have to landline roadrunner and report the new mac address from the modem. Changing routers requires nothing, not even rebooting the modem. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 OpenSUSE Linux http://en.opensuse.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
