No, they don't bind any mac's to the modem configs, but ubr's are sometimes weird about binding an ip address to a mac, but this is just how they are. Usually these entries will expire when a modem re-registers (cm reboot), it just takes a while. The only other option is to have an engineer clear the arp cache entries on the ubr, but escalation for that and waiting for someone to get to it, usually quicker to just leave the modem offline for a while (+5 minutes?) and then plug it back in with the new host on the IP. It will bind on the cable interface of the ubr and you should be good. -mbutash -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-admin@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-admin@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us]On Behalf Of Tom Achtenberg Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 6:06 AM To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Subject: Re: Cox and E-smith Does Cox need to know NIC machine address of the external NIC or anything like that?

Knowing nothing of how to set up a Cox system (I was surprised to find out that they are being charged $6.95 a month to have a second computer on line.) Anyone on the list know how I need to configure the e-smith for Cox? It has version 5.0 on it. > > > Tom Achtenberg > > Over 24,000 people die EVERY DAY from hunger related causes. > Visit http://www.ybnormal.org to find out how YOU can help > > Registered Linux User #242974 (See http://counter.li.org) > Visit my home page at http://achtenberg.com > ________________________________________________ See http://PLUG.phoenix.az.us/navigator-mail.shtml if your mail doesn't post to the list quickly and you use Netscape to write mail.
