They *actually* do auth against MAC?! Sigh. I assume the modem's been
powercycled? Mine will act up from time to time...
FYI - Last time I checked Verizion's policies, this was technically
against their terms of use for Home users. Of course this was a year or
so ago, but they don't want you to have a network connected to their
line - one computer only.
I know - they can't really enforce that if you want to do it that way,
I'm just letting you know - one of the many reasons why I would never
use them as an ISP...
