While you are at it, could you tell us what happened to your earlier query of Reliance working only on one machine not both? After people take interest to solve a problem, if there is no final result, it gets confusing. In case I have missed something, my apologies in advance. :-)
I never had that problem :).
This one. Sorry I mentioned Reliance, I was referring to Hathway.
"I am using Hathway cable internet where they bind your ip settings to your pc. If I unplug the lan cable from the pc and plug it into my laptop, I cannot browse. They are using some sort of dhcp with a static ip (I know that sounds funny - but that's what they say). "
Anyway I checked it out with three different machines. Works if you have the relevant lines in wvdial.conf.
Why wvdial for the above connection? It is a simple DHCP LAN.
I had asked the sales guy whether they did any mac address binding but I don't think the guy knew what I was talking about. :(
Hathway asks for your mac ID when doing any installation or resetting it for a different device or recovering from a messup.
