Subject: trouble connecting to @home cable modem
I've been thinking of getting a Cisco cable modem. It's supposed to have
the Cisco IOS on it and it functions just like a real router. Any
suggestions on whether this will be a good device with Cox's service? I'm
sure I could set it up DHCP but I'm not sure about the hostname and how
that would work..
