My Terayan TJ615 has a built in web server to gain entrance into the config settings, which is using the private class C address of 192.168.0.1. It has no DHCP server running, but it is capable of obtaining an IP address for my firewall box. I think that is standard for cable modems, but I have been known to be wrong ;-) I missed the rest of the discussion.
