CR and Cable Modems

[Mike <buggin () optonline net>]

Is it possible for the CR worm to affect the 
performance of a cable modem if that modem has a 
built in web based configuration tool that is accessed 
via a 192 static ip?  To be a little more specific, by 
performance I am suggesting the possibility for the 
built in USB feature to drop an ip address after being 
probed by the CR?  Two particular cable modems 
that I am inquiring about would be the 3Com home 
connect and the Motorola SB4100.
