I don't know if Comcast is still doing this but they used to require you to provision your cable modem to get it to run. That meant telling their tech support what the MAC address of the cable modem and the MAC address of the computer behind it was. I think there was a serial number for the cable modem too. So if you used your laptop to test the connection when the cable guy was there, then moved in your firewall box, you had to call tech support to change it over before it would work. That's my best guess.
