[TriLUG] OT: RR Networking Question

[Ben Pitzer]

Bill,

I work for the Road Runner southeast region in the Durham data center. 
Send me the mac address of your cable modem (found on the back of the
device under HFC MAC) and I'll look into your problem and talk to you
about it at the meeting tonight.

Regards,
Ben Pitzer
