General network config info is pretty much standard for DHCP:
obtain IP automatically no gateway disable DNS use DHCP for Wins resolution (not sure if this should be disabled as well) Winipcfg output: Host Name CXXXXXXX.oc.cox.netDEST (CXXXXXX being my unique cox ID) DNS 68.4.16.30 68.6.16.30 Node type broadcast IP Address 68.5.218.XXX subnet 255.255.248.0 (unusual subnet, I have it translated to /21, this might be wrong) default GW 68.5.216.1 DHCP 172.19.89.19 Former Cox@home reqirement was to have your unique identifier number set as your computer name, to ID you for the DHCP handshake. No MAC address pickyness.. I could go from direct connect to my PC's card and back to the LRP box by only rebooting the cable modem. Of course that was before the change.... Tech support the past several days is about 50% busy and ringing. I have waited over an hour for a person to pick up on several tries, gave up before an answer more than a few times. People I have spoken to, don't know the answer to "what has changed?" or "what does it take to get a successful DHCP handshake?" as well as not being willing to support anything besides a direct single PC connection. You get sent to tier 2, and wait another hour. (havent' talked to one of these yet... gave up at another hour on hold. Anyway, sorry for the rant.. I sincerely hope it's some setting thing on my end.. With all the other poor suckers like me calling, it could be a long and arduous time getting somebody I could actually get answers from. Let me know if you need any other info.. Jon _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
