[dubailug] [OT] Cable Modem sharing

[Sean Craig - Snr Solutions Consultant - enigmatis]

Hi All, Kick me if I'm stupid, but I have a problem sharing a Cable modem connection via a Wireless Access Point. The cable modem in question is the eCompany-supplied Motorola SurfBoard 4200, and the WAP is a standard Linksys Wireless-G job. Connecting a PC to the WAP is a doddle.  I've set the WAP to get a DHCP-assigned address for the external interface, but it never smells one!   If I connect a laptop to the cable modem with a cross-over cable, I get an address pretty quick.  I've tried connecting the WAP and cable modem with cross-over and regular network cables, but no luck. has anybody else done this before.  thanks Sean SPONSORED LINKS Linux operating system Linux os Hosting linux unix web Linux user Unix vs linux Linux operating system download YAHOO!
