My son in NC encountered same problem when RR installed his cable connection. The tech couldn't get the ethernet NIC to work so he finally hooked it up to the USB. (Modem supplies both connections). Funny thing is the ethernet connection works fine to his laptop.

First, if you are happy running your LAN using ICS to get on the Internet, don't change anything. The reason most folks don't do it the ICS way is everything has to go through the main (host) PC, which must be on. It's also usually a bit slower connection.

Actually, you always had only one IP (internet provider), but were allowed to register two MAC addresses.

Something is not right.

If the connection worked OK before ...
