Does anyone know how user's authentification is done when using a cable-modem?

First off, when you turn on your modem it sends a message to your ISP, that you are on. Then when you open up a gateway, IE or whatever browser you use, one of the first things that get sent are your user name and pass, which I GUESS are stored somewhere on MOTORola (or whatever cable you got) driver or some other file. For more info do this: DL Tiny Firewall Install it Turn of your modem Restart your computer, after installing it Turn on your modem Any packet sent out or recieved will pop up in window, so you can take a look at it There you go, I hope this helps

No. that is the same as asking to change a serial number or a Vin# on a car. Mike
