Have had the ability to do the same at many others around here in Michigan... And anytime the Modem has been replaced... then the Modem's MAC has to be "activated"... Never been a problem around here. I guess I just am lucky `greg - Grand-Master Artist in IT, curley95@attbi.com -- REMEMBER ED CURRY!!!`

If your's doesn't then there isn't even a reason for you to know about MAC spoofing except as an item of arcane but useless knowledge. Around here they do, so nobody's going to connect anything through the cable modem except the original NIC unless it spoofs that NIC's MAC. I've seen people try. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

For the record here (roadrunner, NYC) it does. Cheers, Ben "Perl is like vice grips. You can do anything with it, and it's the wrong tool for every job." --Unknown

Another bad assumption - (ben_tilly) - (5) - Aug. 5, 2002, 07:17:21 PM EDT

I told a tech off for suggesting that. - (static) - (4) - Aug. 6, 2002, 01:47:55 AM EDT

Not only that... - (admin) - Aug. 6, 2002, 10:20:38 AM EDT

Also, a power glitch can put the cable modem into limbo. - (a6l6e6x) - (1) - Aug. 6, 2002, 02:42:27 PM EDT

Happens to hubs too. - (Andrew Grygus) - Aug. 6, 2002, 03:01:00 PM EDT
