Re: [PLUG] Comcast Redirecting Wireless connections?

["Steve Morgan" <stevem.firefly@gmail.com>]

When you hook up a device to the cable modem, the cable modem locks in to that device's MAC address.  When you change the device connected to the cable modem, you can simply turn off, then turn back on the cable modem and it will lock on to the new device's MAC.

I had a similar problem, our new wireless router couldn't get an IP from
comcast, but our old desktop could.
I ended up setting the router's MAC to the desktop's MAC, then it worked
fine.
