MAC Address for Cable Modem ?

On Saturday I got upgraded to 10MB, an engineer came and fitted a cable modem.

I wasn't able to get online until this morning, due to customer services closing at 5pm on Saturday, which was after I had tried both "pin" numbers, given to me by a foolish customer services operator. She first tried to tell me that my original PID number was the pin number, nope that didn't work, and by the time I'd tried the 2nd number she had given me, which was also incorrect, yep, you guessed it, it was too late to get any further

Technical support told me a sales number to call monday morning to get the correct pin number - in the end, they actually re-registered me as a new customer, where I got a new e-mail address, and had to give my bank details (AGAIN!)

Anyway, onto my question:

I have managed to get one pc online, but previously used a router to share the connection between 3 pc's. In the past, I've cloned the MAC address of the network card, is this still the case? as the registered MAC address that came up is different to that of my network card (is that from the modem?) which one do I clone ?

Also, the software on the CD has installed 'netmedic' will it be ok to unistall this, or is it required at all ?

Cheers
