no, it looks the same to them.

BTW - ISP's know people are multiplexing their connections, they're not dumb.

actually most of them don't care, they just won't give you tech support if you've got it networked. So i just keep an extra PC around and hook that up directly if I ever have to call them

Actually my ISP (Alltel) knows that i have more than one computer hooked up to my dsl. Well they know about 2 of them but not the other 4.
I called tech support to figure out how to dissable the firewall in my modem.It was causing problems with games and my wifes Sabre software. Having to go through 2 firewalls.

They switched me over to PPPoE and then Instructed me on what I needed to set up in my linksys router. All tech support people from them may not be this helpful, but the Lady I talked to was very plesant and helpful setting it up.

This is not an advertisement for alltel .I dont work for them and there dial-up sux but so far the dsl is great.



I aint signing nothing!!!

yeah, you got lucky. Most helpline people won't deviate from the script.
