[TriLUG] (~OT) RoadRunner Network Config

[Steve Kuekes]

You may have to power off your cable modem and power it back on so that 
it will lock onto the mac address of your router.  If it hasn't powered 
off/on since the tech was there it will only talk to the tech's laptop.

For 99.9% of my problems a simple power off of the cable modem and power 
on solves it.  Make sure that your router is set to DHCP not PPPOE.
