more network problems

[Peter Konka]

If you plug your computer directly into the cable modem, it might not work 
because your broadband company might need the mac address of the computers 
network card.  It might not need that but here in Boston, my cable company 
would need the mac address of any port that the cable modem is connected 
directly to in order to get access to the web.
