In my case I was converting to a new router box and didn't quite have it ready when the installer came. To make things easy I put the NIC I was going to connect to the cable modem in a dual boot box and brought up Windows. He did his thing and later that afternoon I did mine. I put the card into the old PB P60 that was my "new" router/masq box and they don't care its the same MAC on the other end of the wire. -- Jack Ungerleider The Ungerleider Group - Creative Solutions for Cooperative Computing jack at jacku.com
