[NTLUG:Discuss] @Home connection problems. Can't even ping.

[Kipton moravec]

No, the card in the Windows '98 machine was my card.  Since it was already
installed for my house network, they just reconfigured it. and handed me a
new Ethernet card, since an Ethernet card was part of the installation.

Are you suggesting we take the Ethernet card out of the windows machine and
use it in the linux machine to connect to the cable modem, since it may use
the MAC address of the Ethernet card.?

Cycling power on the cable modem does not help.  I thought it may cause the
cable modem to get a new MAC address.
