"With NTL digital TV set top boxes, if you change the connected device, then after the power off and on again, you need to register the new client MAC: see First connection to Pace set top box."
The real point here is simple. I have a home PC which i use 90% of the time, i also have a work laptop which i would like to use the other 10%. I have a VPN connection to the office, however when connected it always states "limited or no service". I assume to fix it i can a) reboot the settop box and b) register the new client. What i really would like is to set my home PC to share the same address as the work one, then i can just switch them without the hassle.
As for Routers, i really don't understand them. Is it as simple as "plug set top box into router, then plug home and work PC into router and bingo"?
