RE: [PLUG] cable modem and MAC


Doesn't matter, as long as they have the mac of the modem. I've switch
my router many of times, once you switch it out it takes some time for
them to get the new mac of the router. I believe each time I switched
out routers it took 15 mins before I got a new lease.

Subject: [PLUG] cable modem and MAC

I just took Comcast's $20 per month for six months deal.  I bought the 
Motorola modem (after spying the Lynksys modem).  Question is, as far as

Comcast grabbing my MAC address, is it critical to make my initial 
connection with a router, or would it be OK to route through my 
GNU/Linux PC until I switch to a router?
