I'm intrigued by this (though I don't have VM so this is purely an academic inquiry) I'd have thought that as a "modem" the VM box would be doing a simple media conversion between DOCSIS cable and Ethernet, like a L2 bridge. The new router, behind the modem, would be doing the DHCP or PPPoE or whatever is needed to get L3 connectivity into the VM network, right? Is there MAC address spoofing going on too? So how is the "modem" interacting at L3? What IP address does it use in order to speak SSH and SNMP? Aled
