Resetting the modem didn't do it. You are a rogers.com subscriber, and yes, the DHCP server remembers the MAC address of your system. You can share the connection using a broadband router (C$138.99 at Costco, or possibly even C$129 at FutureShock with a rebate), but you can't switch from one machine to the other and back at will if you are connected directly. You _could_ do this before the @home debacle, when the DHCP lease was based on your client id (generallly a cs-xxxxxx number). With the router you can set the router MAC address to match address of the machine which is currently connected, and then set the router up as a DHCP server and run as many machines as you want behind the router. Rogers doesn't have to be involved at all. -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
