I think you need to add a share point first. I may be wrong though, but
it doesn't hurt to try it out.

I would suggest using the bridge mode on the Apple routers. Generally only
tunnelling will cause you issues, but any VPN will probably use tunneling. You
should still be able to block MAC addresses in one of the manual airport
controls even with DHCP turned off.

Hi Jonathan,
THanks for the info. I was going to try bridge mode and have the gateway
handout the DHCP addresses, but of course this means I loose my DHCP
reservations. That isn't a big deal really and I could probably set the lease
time to something really long if it were necessary. As long

Hi.
In addition to what Jeff said, you should just be able to set you're airport
router to point to the comcast modem as it's default gateway.
Sounds like that tek at comcast needs to find a new job.

Hey Geoff,
Sorry I think there was some confusion in the communication. You are correct
that DHCP and static IPs have nothing to do with the local LAN. I think what
she was trying to say is that the modem effectively cannot be put into a true
bridge mode. I think the problem is she could not

Is it possible to set the scope of the dhcp on the comcast device so
that it will only ever assign 1 ip address? This should mean that its
dhcp server just won't respond to any requests for ip's from clients
after its 1 ip has been assigned, leaving the airport to do all
Ben, I could do that. I might have to try this out and see what happens and I
also can adjust the lease time to something pretty long.
Thanks,

how come you need to use this modem? In theory at least, if it uses docsis, it
should work with any cable modem. Now, sometimes, if you have phone service as
well, one modem handles everything, or it could be that they don't follow the
docsis standards completely.

Hello Scott,
AFAIK, you always need public addresses for both ends of an IPv6 tunnel,
because they are included in the payload as part of the protocol.
This means your IPv6 network would have to be connected to the SMC and this
router would have to support IPv6 tunneling.
For normal Internet
This is for a business-class account and this is the only hardware available. I
could not switch out the modem since as a business-class customer I get other
benefits those using residential modems are not afforded.

I've recently had issues of a similar nature. What I would like to do with my

Scott,
If I've understood you correctly, the comcast device is doing dhcp for
all of the computers on the network, but the computers are actually
connecting through the airport; you're wanting to make the comcast box
act just as a modem and nothing else because of the airports ip
reservation

Not sure if you're using wireless, but my suggestion is, use the routing
features of the com cast modem itself. This would mean you would need to give
up the mac address control but if you turn off the ss id broadcast and have a
good password for your wifi network, you should be fine. No sense

Thanks for the feedback, but as I stated in my previous message, I neglected to

Mike, the goal was not to complicate anything. The initial goal was to just get
up and running with as few changes as possible. They did the install in the
middle of my work day, so I had to just plugin and go. As is things work for
the most part, but for IPV6 tunneling and I can live without
Hi i downloaded istumbler and it noticed a network i didn't know about it.
i can delete it.
it shows in the airport menu.
also i went to preferred networks and it wasn't there.
is there anywhere else to look?

If your Mac is setup for DHCP, it will pickup the address and other info from
the router/modem. If you have configured your network to use static IP
addressing, then you still would do nothing.

You shouldn't really have to worry about this sort of stuff.
If you have 2 devices which it sounds like you do, your modem will in
most cases get an ip from your isp without you having to do anything.
It doesn't matter what ip address your router has since it would be an
internal 192.xxx ip.
