RoadRunner & MAC Addresses

[L8CS]

When I first signed up with RoadRunner two years ago, I initially ran two NIC's on my file server and used Sygate for my internal network. I have since upgraded to a LinkSys Cable Router and done away with the two NIC setup. I recently had to deal with their Tech Support and they showed the MAC addresses for both my original Internet NIC and the Cable Router on file.

My question is, can I utilize the original Internet NIC and set up a server outside my firewall, thus having two IP's or would RoadRunner catch it and deny me access?

I'm in NY and they identify by the MAC on the cable modem for me.

I just wondering if I plug my NIC back into the cable modem, will I have internet access even though it's not the current MAC address?

So, you need our help to cheat your ISP???

Actually I'm doing a White Paper on Net Rage in the Forums. All kidding aside, I'm just trying to figure out if I can get the server to work outside the firewall. If not, I'll pay for another IP.

I don't know about where you are, but here in Charlotte, if I have one device pull an IP from them, then have another pull an IP the connection to the first is lost. They only allow us one IP at a time here.

I'm in California. I can get mulitiple IP's for a reduced cost but what I'm interested in is if I can swap out my two devices that already have the MAC addresses on file and not have to contact the cable company.
ie: If my hardware router goes down, can I convert back to the two NIC's in one computer and still access the web since the NIC I would use would have been the original MAC address registered with RoadRunner.
