Yes.Comcast. MAC address is the IP on the bottom of the router right?
Edit: Not an IP. Just a bunch of numbers/letters. But yes.
Correct. Now, the following applies to Comcast a few years back. I'm sure it still rings true.
All network devices have a MAC address -- your computer, rad's computer, your router etc. Some ISPs (Comcast included) will take the first X number of MAC addresses it sees and only let those MAC addresses connect. What may have happened is you ran against this limitation. There are two ways to solve it. The first is calling Comcast and asking they clear the recorded MAC addresses. The second (much easier, IMHO) is to clone a known-to-be-working MAC address and give it to your router. I seem to remember you saying your laptop worked. What are you running, WinXP?

Oh yeah:
D&D night.
I don't think Than quite understands how this locking thing works
boobies?
That is what DUE's broken bra says.

Quid: I'll also need to know what kind of router you have, so I can get some specifics. On your laptop, however, do this... Start --> Run --> 'cmd' (without quotes) and hit OK --> 'ipconfig /all' and hit enter --> Find the MAC address associated with your WIRED network card (I assume you had it plugged directly into the cable modem).
Reffering to the forum variety, or the Gygaxian variety?

can you access the router with that machine?

Edit: But not connect to the internet at the same time.
OK, so backup solution without calling Comcast.
Log into the router configuration. Poke around and look for something about MAC address cloning. Some routers can read the MAC of your machine and automatically clone it over.
Once that's done (if you can do it), restart your router. Should have everything running.
Also, if memory serves, you can hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete to bring up Task Manager and you can do a run command from the File menu within that program.
Quit stealing my schtick
Me and my cousin escaped by parachuting out the back of the plane.
I hope real skydiving is not like that.
Yeah, that's it. Any luck finding the MAC address setting in your router?

Usually I'd agree but I'm still in awe of the man. This guy kicked ass and took names. What, two races came down to the finish? The 4x100 relay and the photo finish the other night? He's the winningest ever and he'll probably be back for more in 2012.
I mean, fuck. If you can't get behind that, what the hell can you get behind?
Take the MAC address off your laptop and drop it in on the router. Restart the router (unplug it, plug it back in... settings should stay). You might have to shut off the cable modem, then the router, then start the cable modem and then the router once the cable modem is up for a few minutes if just restarting the router doesn't work.
What's in your top five? I'm not a huge Stones fan in general, so I'm sure I'm missing some "zomg how could you forget song X".
Personally, I'd probably throw Mother's Little Helper, Satisfaction, and You Can't Always Get What You Want above it, too.
If only you knew
I don't care who is better. Saying the Beatles were better than the Stones... who cares? Music is music. Just because they were of the same generation(ish) doesn't mean that band X has to be better than band Y.
