Hello<br />
I have COX cable. Had a wireless Linksys (WRTG54GX2) set up with my Linksys Cable modem. All is well. Room mate unhooks from Linksys router, and connects his laptop to the modem. He surfs for a while. Now I can't get my LInksys to work. It sees &nbsp;public IP from the modem, but I can't surf or PING the DNS servers. <br />
Do I need to clone the MAC of the laptop? I can get a public IP and surf on the laptop.<br />
thanks!

The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL), cable, fiber optics, wireless (for which there is a separate topic), satellite and broadband over powerlines (BPL).
