when i got my modem it didnt work either we went through verizon dsl and adelphia. When we got the adelphia we decided to reinstall windows and what do u kno it works. A good install always does good thats what i think u should do. It wouldnt work at all before that.

Cable modems of course have MAC addresses, if the cable techs back in their offices, cant get it registered correctly, it won't ever work. Sometimes we encounter these certian people, and they make us believe it's your hardware not their software(or softheads).
