It is a Linksys 4 port 10/100 switch hooked up to the cable modem. I'm going to take over a laptop to see if I can get on the 'net with it. This should be a simple thing, but is either being blocked somehow at the cable modem, or a weird hardware problem.

I've done this on several occasions with a Linksys cable modem/dsl router with the built in 10/100 switch. With no problem. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 9:45 AM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: WIN2K question The cable modem only supports 1 IP, or MAC address. To connect from the cable modem to the switch you need a cross over cable or port. Those would be Guesses number 1 and 2. --Kevinm M, WLKMMAS, UCC+WCA, And Beyond He's a Dentist, a Detective, a MindReader, No He is in IT..... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Josefowski, Larry Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 6:43 AM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: WIN2K question First time I have asked for help here... A friend has a cable modem hookup. He has the connection going to a switch, with a connection to a Win98 computer, and a Win2K computer. The Win98 has no problem getting on, and is set for DHCP to pick up an IP address. I cannot get the Win2K to pick up an IP address. I have swapped cables, ports on the switch, tied directly into the cable modem, but cannot get DHCP to pick up an IP (other then the private one it automatically generates). However, the computers can see each other with NetBeui.
