A Network Riddle
I had to hook up a Sonicwall device to a guys computer to establish a VPN tunnel. Shouldn't really be that much problem. However, anytime I would hook the device up to the modem and unplug the modem I still couldn't get an IP address from the modem. I tried hooking up two other computers and had the same problem. One computer, the original one that was hooked up directly worked fine. After a call in to Comcast tech support I quickly had my answer.
So what do you think the answer was?

You weren't recycling the modem power to release the MAC.
