Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. I talked to a friend who has the same cable provider, and he said he'd never had that problem -- thing is, it may be something that the cable provider started doing more recently. This guy'd been running the cable router for about a year and a half.
Just curious as the router never had trouble with ADSL ... Thanks all. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ferguson, Scott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "s.eVershAde" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Johannes B.

Ullrich Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Question on broadband IP routers using NAT Thanks for the responses. Yes, as far as the hardware end goes, I have tried resetting the cable modem, as well as powering it up and then the router; also I tried powering up the router first, then the modem; setting up all the would-be connections to the router with the modem on (and off) and then powering up the router. I think it's possibly along the lines of what Mr. Fitzpatrick suggested with the hardware addies. As mentioned, it picked up a dynamic IP immediately when connected to an internal LAN. I have a friend who works for the cable company (who's nearly impossible to get a hold of) who may be able to answer that ... maybe even clear out my cached MAC address. ;) At any rate, it's likely something simple .. that's always the way it seems to be.
