The cable modem may get an IP even though the cable modem MAC is not
registered. Make sure your ISP/cable company has the correct CM MAC
address, NOT the USB MAC address. Ours will sync but will remain
unregistered until we provision them. This way the cable co. can
direct
all unregistered modems to an HTML sign up page or a generic
advertisement page.
