You missed my point but I probably didn't explain myself well. My point was
that cloning the Mac address is unnecessary with most cable systems. And,
like I mentioned if your router gets a power spike and looses it's mind it
will go back to defaults. If it wasn't cloned the router will keep talking.
But if the Mac address was cloned it will leave you dead in the water when
it changes back to the default Mac.

My alternative suggestion is to hard-reset the modem so it will take on a
new default Mac address of the router. So why bother cloning the router? On
the otherhand if you don't hard-reset or clone and then call tech support
because things won't talk then you'll get the third degree as to what your
up to.

Hope this helps...
