Nick is right, at least with my cable modem ISP. When they installed the original cable modem, they installed theirs. I purchased another modem and decided to save myself the monthly rental. I could hookup and talk to the Net, but when I took theirs back to them and told them I had my own, they wanted me to bring mine in, also. The "tech" said they had to get a number off of my new modem or it would not work in their system. The "tech" said once they deactivated their number, if they did not have my number to activate, my modem would not work.
This is a good theory, but there are a couple of flaws (i think) I
beleive
that each cable modem has a MAC address, so the network would look for
the
cable modems mac address, not the NIC's.
