Not sure about there, but here, they keep track of the mac address.
When I changed from an old 10 base T router to a brand new G Wireless
router at a rental place once, I had to change the Mac address of the
new router to match that of the old one before anything would work..

Have any of you ever run into a situation where your router's WAN

others? The only thing I can figure is that my router is fine but
Comcast has locked (possibly) my service to the MAC address of this
one box and will only connect to it but none of the others. Is my
thinking straight on this or can any of you come up with an
alternate scenario? It seems might strange to me that I can take the
ethernet cable from my Mororola cable modem and switch it from one
box to another and only the one will connect. What the heck is going
on?
