You need to disable all traffic on the 2950 switchport that would have
it's own MAC address in the frame. So for the port facing the cable
modem, disable:

Spanning tree
Any trunk-negotiation frames
And channel-negotiation frames

Joe,

As soon as I plug in the modem, it records the 2950's switchport MAC
address. If I use a cheapy linksys switch it doesn;t. Is there anyway to

disable the switchport MAC?
