When dealing with this type of circuit, think of your cable modem as the UNI interface.
The router can/will negotiate DHCP signals dynamically (i.e. Lease, Renewal, Rebind), but this is in terms of a host. The information your 2514 is seeing, is the same info the cable modem would provide your directly connected Microsoft PC. This is what the DHCP command is allowing you to accomplish here, to gather predetermined DHCP information from the cable modem and not full negotiations with the DHCP server. In short- reboot the cable modem, then the router... and don't be surprised if your regain the same IP address, even though you're granted a brand new lease. All the best !!!

I would like to release the lease recieved from the cable modem (comcast) . I have tried powercycling the modem, router, reload, shuting the interface ect and nothing works. I get the same lease all the time and cant get out to the internet. thanks Randy Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=47215&t=47175 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
