In the case I was in, I had to do an interactive synchronization of
MAC.  The person on the phone was very belligerent, continually saying
that multiple computers are not allowed and this needs to be removed,
blah blah blah yakkity smackity.  I power cycled, reinitialized, etc,
about a zillion times (plus or minus one ;) ) and looking at logs
between each.  It wasn't until calling Cox that I found out about the
increased tightness of MAC linkage... again, perhaps only in my house,
perhaps not :)

Mind you it looked like it worked every time, I just couldn't get a
page from any computer/ip on my network without it pulling up a page
saying something  that cox customer relations needs to be contacted.
