Another issue may be that some ISPs only permit the MAC address you give 
them within your house.  Knology in Columbus is like that, and it's 
irritating and anti-consumer.  If I'm at the in-laws' and I disconnect 
my nephew's Sony Vaio and put my laptop in its place, nothing will work 
unless I call Knology and get their "permission."
