Mediaone/Road Runner also uses the MAC address of the NIC, so you cannot change the NIC without either calling Mediaone or overiding the NIC's MAC address in software. "T Downing" wrote:

AFAIK, the cable modem, made by RCA has it's own IP address, and acts as a DHCP server. the Cable Television Modem (CTM) assigns an IP address, based on a hostname, which is basicly like a serial number.
In case it matters, the service provider is @home
