Very true. I cant believe they lock down the mac addresses. If you need to see whats going on you can open an http connection to 192.168.100.1 and look inside the modem, also for 10$ more you can upgrade to a SLIGHT speed increase AND 3 IP/Mac addresses.

Cableones CMTS (Cable Modem Termintation Server) takes care of your cable modem, unknown to alot of cable modem users... Your cable modem has an IP on it. The CMTS sees your cable modem boot up / power up. Your cable modem starts a tftp file transport to the CMTS. Your cable modem recieves all it's info. I.E. what speed you pay for and the MAC address of your cable modem and a non-routable IP. Then you are locked down to a non-routable subnet. I.E. the 10.*.*.* address that they hand out. You go to the registration site and this registers the MAC address of your firewall or PC (which ever you have on the perimeter of your network). Here is where they only allow you to have one MAC address on your connection. Once they have your MAC you have to reboot your router or PC, or just shutdown the interface and bring it backup. As far as what your doing.... Hook a hub up to your router and then connect the PC's to the hub.
