Hello everyone!!

I have a question here, I need your help!
Recently I bought a Cisco uBR924 and I've been trying to connect it at home,
so I can expand my home lab capabilities. My service provider is Time Warner
(Road Runner) and I simply can't connect it to the Internet. This router has
one cable-modem interface, four ethernet ports (represented as 1 ethernet
interface) and two FXS voice-ports.

According to the Cisco's documentation, the service establishment process of
a
cable-modem-router like this one is as follows:

- Scan for a downstream channel and establish synchronization with the CMTS.
- Obtain upsteam channel parameters.
- Start ranging for power adjustments.
- Establish IP connectivity
- Establish the time of day
- Establish security
- Transfer operational parameters
- Perform registration
- Comply with baseline privacy
- Enter the operational maintenance state

When I issue "show int cable-modem 0", I notice a lot of  "interface resets"
displayed by the output. Further investigation required me to run some debug
commands and - I love this one - "show controllers cable-modem 0 mac log",
which probably identified the problem. I could see almost all
"CMAC_LOG_STATE_CHANGE" events, but during the registration process
(registration_state), the modem received a "RESET_AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE".
I pasted part of the output so my question may be answered by someone:

The steps from "scanning downstream" to "establish security" seem to be
fine:

1041.159 CMAC_LOG_STATE_CHANGE                       wait_for_link_up_state
1041.159 CMAC_LOG_STATE_CHANGE
ds_channel_scanning_stat
1043.540 CMAC_LOG_STATE_CHANGE                       wait_ucd_state
1046.319 CMAC_LOG_STATE_CHANGE                       wait_map_state
1046.371 CMAC_LOG_STATE_CHANGE                       ranging_1_state
1047.337 CMAC_LOG_STATE_CHANGE                       ranging_2_state
1048.112 CMAC_LOG_STATE_CHANGE                       dhcp_state
1048.404 CMAC_LOG_DHCP_ASSIGNED_IP_ADDRESS           10.47.170.200
1048.404 CMAC_LOG_DHCP_TFTP_SERVER_ADDRESS           24.29.99.72
1048.404 CMAC_LOG_DHCP_TOD_SERVER_ADDRESS            24.29.99.72
1048.404 CMAC_LOG_DHCP_SET_GATEWAY_ADDRESS
1048.404 CMAC_LOG_DHCP_TZ_OFFSET                     0
1048.404 CMAC_LOG_DHCP_CONFIG_FILE_NAME              disabled.bin
1048.404 CMAC_LOG_DHCP_ERROR_ACQUIRING_SEC_SVR_ADDR
1048.404 CMAC_LOG_DHCP_LOG_SERVER_ADDRESS            24.29.99.57
1048.404 CMAC_LOG_DHCP_COMPLETE
1059.956 CMAC_LOG_STATE_CHANGE                       establish_tod_state
1059.956 CMAC_LOG_TOD_REQUEST_SENT                   24.29.99.72
1059.964 CMAC_LOG_TOD_REPLY_RECEIVED                 3252376461
1059.968 CMAC_LOG_TOD_COMPLETE
1059.968 CMAC_LOG_STATE_CHANGE
security_association_state
1059.968 CMAC_LOG_SECURITY_BYPASSED

But when the modem downloaded de DOCSIS configuration (the config file), I
noticed something weird:

1059.968 CMAC_LOG_STATE_CHANGE
configuration_file_state
1059.968 CMAC_LOG_LOADING_CONFIG_FILE                disabled.bin
1063.988 CMAC_LOG_CONFIG_FILE_PROCESS_COMPLETE

Did you noticed the filename received by the Cisco uBR924? Its name is
"DISABLED.BIN". It doesn't sound good......

After that, the next step is "registration". Now I noticed that the CTMS
has, for an "unknown" reason, rejected the registration process. Therefore,
the router is unable to proceed with other steps toward the Internet
connection.

977.130 CMAC_LOG_STATE_CHANGE                       registration_state
   977.130 CMAC_LOG_REG_REQ_MSG_QUEUED
   977.138 CMAC_LOG_REG_REQ_TRANSMITTED
   977.142 CMAC_LOG_REG_RSP_MSG_RCVD
   977.142 CMAC_LOG_RESET_AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE
   977.142 CMAC_LOG_STATE_CHANGE                       reset_interface_state
   977.142 CMAC_LOG_STATE_CHANGE                       reset_hardware_state

I tried to configure this device at both bridge and routing levels, and it
didn't work at all.

Do you guys know if some ISPs have configured anything that could block
"unauthorized devices" (anything not the modem they provide us) to establish
internet connectivity? Do they make any kind of MAC addresses filtering?
I really don't want to use a plain modem to connect to the Internet.
Specially when I have a cool Cisco with a lot of interesting features.

Any help would be appreciated.
