it may be too late now (maybe not too late):
for $80 or so you can get a linksys router and
set it to effectively use your Mac address.
Once that's in place you can hook up any
machine you want to the router.
What I don't know is if a Linksys router will
work with the Comcast equipment--seems
like it should, but I don't know.

This is true. I moved the interface card that was initially
used for the Comcast hookup to my Linux machine, and now
it works (great by the way).
Oh my God! This can't be true. They are scum if this is true.
I'm changing the subject here. But I was curious if anybody knows
why Comcast
does that.
I over-reacted calling Comcast scum. This is a shocking
revelation, however. My guess is security -- this is probably
the only way Comcast knows I'm me.
Thanks to Dr. Pete and Mr. Mike for your help.
