Tony,
With a cable modem, the MAC address of the host pc is probably registered in the
modem. So the modem doesn't recognise the router.
You have three possibilities:
1) Call your ISP and ask them how to register the router.
2) If the router does MAC spoofing, RTFM and have it spoof the host MAC
address.
3) Force the modem to recognise the router.
- Power the modem, router, and pc's off.
- Leave everything off 10 - 15 minutes.
- Power on the modem.
- After 5 minutes, power on the router.
- After a minute or so, power on the pc's.
IIWY, I would do #2 if possible, #3 if not, and #1 as absolutely last resort.
Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
