Rus once noted that people like blog entries with pictures, so I figured I’d post the pictures of the new desk and plasma tv that I took to send to my parents. I am able to post these because my cable modem was delivered today. After a conversation with comcast tech support who informed me that I couldn’t have any device between my computer and the cable modem (in my case, my airport extreme), I was able to get everything configured and my tivo was able to stop informing me that I really needed to make a daily call.

For some reason, for the purposes of the setup of the cable modem, you have to be directly connected. I think it is so that some software of theirs can tell something the initial IP that you are allocated or something. Once they do the setup, it is fine to have a hub or whatever and I’ve had no trouble since then.
