A Quick Note About Comcast Cable Modems
1 Comment
So I loaded Tomato onto my Linksys router this morning. After rebooting it and getting everything set up again, I noticed I couldn’t connect to the Internet. Crap.
I remembered that when my cable had been installed, I’d been “pushed through” (I think that’s Comcast’s term) by Shawna’s laptop. After the tech left, I couldn’t connect my router to the Internet, so I spoofed her MAC address with the Linksys and have not had trouble since. Logically, I assumed that Comcast somehow stores the MAC address that first connects to the Internet and you just have to use that for all eternity. Turns out I was wrong.
