Once upon a time, Comcast used to install their modems and register the mac address of the NIC of the customer's computer. Sort of a way of preventing their customers from stealing service, I suppose. But now, they don't care. All you have to do is power down the modem, attach it to whatever NIC you like, and power it up. It will see the change of MAC and dhcp assign an ip to whatever is there. I've heard, that you can also just clear the ARP table of the modem to do the same thing, but power off/on might be easier. _______________________________________________ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
