Can i ask why none of you have logged into your router via the grey wan port 192.168.1.1 password vodafone assigning your own DNS Server addresses 208.67.222.222 · 208.67.220.220 or just plugged directly into your CableTV, Cable Modem Coax from your system to another DNS Server other than Cable for instance.

Network As far as i'm aware when your disconnected from Cable they only pull your mac address from there DNS Server pool, no longer providing you a software assigned address for your registered mac! and have you ever wondered what would happen was you to list your own mac address, in a different pool, using that same cable (same cable- Different Carrier, unless theres a total disconnect or a no signal return in place preventing DHCP Discovery, then obviously it would fail, but you can't provide Tivo with a no signal return inplace, or a total disconnect.
Has anyone ever tried setting up there own network across Cabletv Network, using a BNC or Token ring network card or even converting the media type, curious to ask, because i often wonder is a modem (SuperHub) not just a BNC Video Balun, with an thardware addresses that cable can control, adding and removing those hardware addresses from the server pools, not only that but with the extra script makes setting up a pc and a connection, much simpler, remember the days of dial up and your Setup disks you used to get? with all your connection details, area code, region, dial up server number and the hassle it all caused (the SuperHub) contains all those settings, billing controls the pool, pulling and returning your mac address as your balance deems, all that information, the bill payer just deems it an essential part of the connection process, failing to understand that controlling all that information themselves and doing all there own configuration, when your hardware address isn't in the pool, your not getting another assigned software address. No one says you have to use that pool however, Aslong as there is a Tftp Server somewhere and a gateway to the rest of the worlds information, does hardwork not pay?
