requires a Host name enter it in the following area. Clone the
MAC address on the computer that is registered on the cable
provider’s network.
NOTE If MAC cloning is required, please use the original computer
that was registered onto the cable network. If you don’t have access to that
computer, please call your cable provider to register your new computer’s
MAC address on their network.
