Sorry to butt in, but the answer is no. The ISP (cable or dsl) only sees the IP address of the router, which in turn serves up its own IP numbers to all the computers on your LAN. It's called network address translation (NAT). Some high speed providers, such as ATTBI, require the MAC address of the network interface card in your computer in order to sync. That's their way of ensuring you can only have one computer per IP address. It's very easy to get around this by using the "clone" feature which copies your computer's MAC to the router itself. dslreports.com This is another great site for answering any question about broadband, routers, etc.
