Thanks to everyone who replied. I should have mentioned that I am back on line and my static IP is working. I just found it odd that Cox would offer a different IP than the one I am assigned if I did not set my router up for a static IP. I assumed that when my router asked for the IP Cox would provide the static IP automatically.

From a docsis level they filter only one mac at a time (unless you pay for more), and flipping mac's won't always simply work. -mb On 08/30/2012 11:55 AM, JD Austin wrote: > They go off the network mac address that you're sending them; many > devices let you spoof anything you want. > If you can still boot the old one get it's mac address and spoof it on > the new one. > > On Thu, Aug 30, 2012 at 11:33 AM, keith smith <klsmith2...@yahoo.com > <mailto:klsmith2...@yahoo.com>> wrote: > > > Hi, > > Last night, after 6 years of good loyal service, my D-Link router > died.
