Once you *have* reset the modem, do *NOT* plug a computer into it - in fact, don't even turn it on yet. Instead, nip out to any PC shop and buy a small ethernet switch (not a plain 'hub', you need a device with its own valid MAC address). Plug this into the cable modem, and your Macs into the switch.
This is NOT a switch, but will be called a cable router. A switch is merely a slightly smarter hub, and does not have a MAC address.
