I'm using separate interfaces (completely separate nics actually). Could you educate me on the meaning of BSR?
I think I have refined the description of my trouble. I found that my 2nd cable modem is more than happy to give up an IP to the first interface, or another machine. I think the following series of entries in my System Log is key to the problem. Following the next few lines is a complete log from the point I try to renew the interface, until it settles and begins looping the aforementioned messages. "Trying Recorded lease?"

If you are connected to the same BSR with the cable modem's it's not going to like the MAC address most likely. Also, do you have a switch connected the the cable modems, then the switch connected to the firewall? I have found that when using the same BSR is breaks the second cable modem for some reason. -- Curtis LaMasters http://www.curtis-lamasters.com http://www.builtnetworks.com
