[G4] sawtooth connecting via ethernet

[nagable at comcast.net]

When I first installed my Netgear wireless router (Quicksilver 800MHz and a couple of iBooks with Airport cards), I couldn't get the iBooks on the internet.  I called Netgear, and they told me to set the router to "Spoof the computer's Mac address."  I did, and got on right away.  I called Comcast first, and they told me they don't support wireless routers.  This was about 2 years ago.  Things might have changed, but I doubt it.
