RoadRunner is much different than @home.  When they came and installed
your cable service they took down the mac address of the NIC that was
on the machine they put it on.  They use the mac address to give out ip
address with dhcp.  Really all you need to do is take the NIC out of
the machine that they put it on and put that NIC in the machine you
want it to work on.
