All this talk about MAC addresses. I do not see this happenning with
comcast at all. Last night I switched between DHCP on a Win2K box and a
Redhat Linux box and after reseting (turning the power off and on, on the
newer modems) it worked just fine. Why should comcast care about your
ethernet card! Come on they are stupid but not that stupid. You think you
cannot replace a card in your computer if it goes bad? IT is MS and XP
that screw you on that with their silly registration!
