Normally, with DHCP, you don't assign more than 1 IP to that ethernet
interface because the IP lease is based upon the MAC address so the DHCP
server would get confused.  Typically, you're either assigning multiple ip's
to 1 interface (eth0, eth0:1, eth0:2 etc) or you're using DHCP to assign 1
ip to the eth0 interface.  I suppose that you could use dhcp to assign an
address to eth0 and setup statics on eth0:1 and so forth!

Ok for all of you n00b's mediacoms (just like a lot of other ISPs) DHCP
assigns IPs by MAC address. And if you didn't know (as far as I know)
all network cards have different MAC addresses (this includes the little
linksys firewall) so whenever you plug a different computer into your
cable modem it'll give you a diff IP.

Oh and on a similar note, how do shell providers have so many IPs for 1
machine?????? The reason I ask is because I was wondering if its
possible to do that with mediacom???? If anyone knows or wants to try to
figure it out, let me know.

Mine changed when I took my PC off drom behind the Linksys Router. It
changed again when I put another PC right into the cable modem.    The
IP
then went back when I plugged in the Router.

Lesson Learned: Mediacom's DHCP service isn't random.
Unless someone hijacks your IP when you're not using it... Your IP will
not
change.
