Under my router's Device Info, the status tab has a LAN section on top
and a WAN section underneath. The WAN section lists mack address,
connection, IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and lastly DNS. To
the right of connection it says: "DHCP Client Disconnected" and to the
right of that are two buttons for DHCP release and DHCP renew. I've
tried the release and renew buttons but the renew action goes to a
screen that says "renew IP timeout". I'm pretty sure that this is the
reason none of my boxes will connect through the router to the Internet.
Am I missing something or can anybody add anything? Thanks!

Usually you can wait ~15 minutes and it will time out as well with the cable

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 port
seems to stop working but your ethernet connections among 4 PC's are
fine? Then after some more investigation it seems that your cable modem
will only connect one PC to the web and none of the 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?
