Different NIC Cards




I notice that Comcast assigns IPs based on the NIC card. As I
was preparing to switch to DSL, I hooked one computer to the
cable modem and the other to the DSL, to make sure I have
everything connected right, by accessing the DSL from my
cable modem, and I see that Comcast gave me a different
IP number on a different computer with a different NIC
card. How does Comcast know that I am logging on with a
different NIC card and a different computer?
