Cleve,
I work for Cox installing these things, if your looking into getting
a new modem, and live outside of the Tiger Land area, get a Surfboard
4200, the performance is much better on the Surfboard series of modems.
Also, if you are power-cycling your modem, and still can't get online
with Linux, recompile your kernel with Sockets filtering( i think that's
what it is called ) enabled, i think it's like the 3rd option, under the
network configuration section of the latest kernel release.
Also, for those wondering why these are better than toshiba's, the
surfboards, can work normal under worse line conditions in the system.

<pre wrap="">Brad,
Did you have the PCX1100U before your current PCX2200?
I lease my cable modem and I'm wondering if it is worth my trouble to
have them come and swap it out for the latest, greatest version?
Thanks for the info,
Cleve

I was troubleshooting my cable connection and brought my laptop from
work home to test with. Long story short they said the cable modem
does indeed keep a table of the MAC address that was last connected to
it. I was instructed to turn off the cable modem for about 5 minutes
(to be positively sure) and then turn it back on. This cleared the table.
Since then I've continued to do this and never had any problems.
I have a Toshiba PCX2200.

I have internet service from Cox Cable and use the Toshiba PCX1100U
Cable Modem.
I was having a lot of problem communicating with the outside world....it
would work with one install and not with the next....installations of
the same distribution and across different distributions as well. Very
confusing.
Narrowed it down to the fact that apparently I need to cycle the cable
modem when I use different machines.
What I mean is this...I have two machines.
One is a P200MMX and the other is an AMD Duron700.
I can go from WinXP to Mandrake on my main machine....the Duron700
obviously, and everything is fine. But when I set up another
distribution on the P200MMX I can't successfully connect to the outside
world unless I cycle the cable modem.....and the same it true when I go
back to the original machine.
I guess that these cable modems work much like a switch and have a table
that holds the MAC and IP information and gets confused if there are two
entries with the same IP but different MACs and it has to be cycled to
clean out the cached table.
Just making assumptions here but it does follow the evidence.
Anyone else notice this or am I just the lucky one?
Cleve
