Well I begged for him to call Cablevision and the ratbassturd said
ok, ok...then he gave me some weak-azz excuse about how he had
to leave early and that he would call on Monday. 
So I said, F him, I changed the Mac addy and rebooted the
modem after he left. lol
But no luck...
1- The freakin' modem has a backup battery/power supply
because when I pulled the plug, the modem still had the power indicator light on.
Although the other lights went dead, power and the "battery" lights were on.
2- When I replugged the power to the modem, I couldn't get any internet connection.
3- Lakeman - I tried releasing for 30+ seconds....that didn't help.
4- When I put everything back to the way it was, internet was back and the IP was still the same.
I guess I have no choice but to wait for Monday. 
Thanks again for all the help. 
I'm outta here! 
PS: On a COMPLETELY unrelated note, I have cheap tickets to the
Elton/Joel concert in Wrigley. LOL - I do!
