When I connect my modem to my laptop via an ethernet cable, I cant get a connection to internet, but when I connect to internet via my Linksys wireless router, it connects with no problem.

can someone explain why this is?

Ps I have just noticed that the HFC Mac address is different from the Ethernet mac address in the haxoware setup. Should they be the same?.

Thanks
