[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1282170"] In my experience, one of two things is going on. 1. You did not really UNPLUG (power down) the cable modem and wait long enough. Give it a full minute next time. OR 2. The modem has been set up to copy her computer's MAC address as its own (a MAC address has nothing to do with Mac or PC as you probably know). The only fix for that is to open the modem's configuration page and change that. You might call the service provider, explain the situation, chances are they'll help you out by resetting the modem from their end. OR 3. You could spend a lot more time hanging out at coffee shops, libraries and other places with free wi-fi. :) [/QUOTE]
