What firmware is you're modem running? Check out haynes modem guide, should be links in the forum somewhere..

Basically depending on what firmware you're running you need to run a sniffer prog like dhcp force and find some valid macs and then change ur modem's mac and ur computers mac while coax is out of modem and then try it..

Took me a while but this thread helped - any modems post here


(wud stick in link but haven't enuf posts for that yet!)
