Hi Experts!
I'm one of those "knows just enough to be dangerous" people when it comes to this networking stuff and thought I'd let somebody that knows what they're doing help instead of mucking through it myself!
If the modem is hooked up directly to my computer, I can release and renew the IP with no problems.
Running through the router, however, I go to the router admin site, left at the default
http://192.168.1.1And then try to do a IP release/renew for the Internet Connection section of the admin site and it won't get an IP from the modem....
When the modem is connected directly to the computer...I can get to a diagnostics page on the modem by going to:
http://192.168.100.1I thought maybe if I changed all the router stuff to 192.169.* that it would make a difference...no luck...tried setting the router to act as router and not gateway...no luck...
There isn't much info I could find on this particular modem...but the user manual said that I could hook this modem into a hub or switch by using a crossover cable, or using a normal cable and plugging it into the uplink port of the switch....
would that really work? why? would not using dhcp on the router make the modem work?...i really don't want to do that though...
