New Cable tricks
Cable companies around here key the service to the MAC address of the network card in the computer they set up. To connect any other computer, it is necessary to determin the MAC address of the original computer's card and force the other computer to that address.

We usually do this with Linksys router (now down to $70 or so), since it has MAC address spoofing built in.
