[ale] [OT] router question

[jdp at algoloma.com (JD)]

Perhaps the MAC for the router is registered with Comcast?

Spoof the MAC for the WAN port on the router and see if you get the double-NAT
you seem to want.  I wouldn't want that myself, but to each their own.

When you are done, change the MAC back.

You'll probably need to reboot the modem and the router in the prescribed
Comcast order for changes to be seen.  I thnk that is power everything off -
modem, wait, wait, router, wait, wait ... internal network stuff. I wouldn't
worry about the internal network stuff, unless that LAN conflicts with the modem.

OTOH, I'm clueless. ;)
