Your cable modem should be configured to use an internal ip itself so try and access the modem's software by pointing a web browser to its address. The ip 192.168.100.1 is a common one. Most cable modems these days have a configuration manager where you can manually configure certain items, like Frequency Plan, Upstream channel and also a DHCP Server. Just untick the DHCP Server box (if you have one) and restart the modem. Leave the modem on permanently if you feel upstart times are a nuisance...then you shouldn't have any ip issues with the LEAF box. It's better to use the dhcpd package instead if the need arises... -- Patrick Benson Stockholm, Sweden ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
