[QUOTE="RandomJoe, post: 1153350, member: 182336"] One possibility, are you powering down the cablemodem when you connect it to the Airport? I have Cox as well (in OKC) and the modem grabs the MAC address of the device connected to it on powerup, and only talks to that MAC. If you want to change devices (go from a computer to the Airport) you have to restart the cablemodem so it will release the old MAC and grab the new one. (MAC being the hardware ID of a given Ethernet card, not Mac as in Apple Mac!) [/QUOTE]
