DHCPCD Problems with Cox's new network

of course if your running *nix then you could always do

ifconfig eth* ipaddress netmask addr a.b.c.d -hw < MAC >

and spoof the bloody thing how hard is that? ....

i ran 4 pc's off of a 1 pc connection back in England by doing this ...

Tech support in most ISP's are as about as useful as a blown fuse so id say
stick to your gunz and find the solution that suites you ..
