Mike, Thank you for the kind words. Adelphia is not among my favorite companies, but quite unfortunately several years back the city of Charlottesville made an exclusive (!) deal with them to provide cable access in the city. So they're the only game in town. My employer pays for the Powerl

Hello once again, Thank you to all for the advice. I simply have the router spoofing my mac's MAC address and I'm off and running. Now, finally, my Pismo is unshackled! For those of you who have .edu connections, or are even near a University, I picked up this router for $50 at our student bo

I think it is on topic. Disconnect your ABS, power cycle your modem (keep it off for 5-10 minutes) this should reset your leased IPs. It sounds like they lease one or two IPs and you are using your allotment. If this does not work, call Adelphia and have them reset your leases manually. >I ha

Hello all, Maybe slightly off-topic, but there seems to be a considerable knowledge base out there, so... I have a PIsmo 500/12/640, with an Airport installed. Was at the student bookstore buying office v.x, picked up a Netgear Cable/DSL Wireless ROuter MR314 for $50. My home net connection i
