I'm still thinking it's got something to do with this PPPoE thing...

On the Config Page it's laid out like this (but in "MAC Address" is the MAC of my old laptop):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Internet/WAN Settings

Operating Mode:
Router [X] Access Point [ ]

Protocol :
DHCP Client [X] PPPoE Client [ ] Manual [ ]
Mac Address ______________________
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I change the button to "PPPoE Client" I get options for User Name (Which is a 9 digit number starting with a "4", and a password (which appears to be 5 digits), and it says "connection type - Always on or Dial on Demand".

Manual gives me the option to manually assign all the IP's and Subnet Mask and DNS etc...

Any of this ring any bells at all??

I'll be trying to connect the Ethernet directly tomorrow to see if that works...
Sharing Violation? No. You can have up to 5 MAC addresses registered to your Cable Box and you can delete them when you don't use them. PPPoE has nothing to do with Cable Services, it's a protocol that is used by some ADSL providers.
