Switching to MediaOne



Nothing has changed with mediaone.  Just call them give them the mac address
of the nic you want to use and then you can configure your box any way you
want.  I am running a NAT and serving 8 clients and Mediaone has never
griped, (except when I put up that mailserver and didn't disable
relaying..ouch)

Most probably, yes.  MediaOne hands out IP addresses only to known MAC
addresses, AFAIK.  At least they did when I got my CM.
