When the CenturyLink installer dude plugged in my Netgear router to the new modem he failed to tell me that the new modem had been set to 192.168.0.1 at the factory. Unfortunately, 192.168.0.1 is what my Netgear router had been set to. The Netgear popped up a message on my laptop that it had discovered a conflict with another device so it had changed itself to 192.168.1.1, whereupon half my devices could no longer connect - some, like the laptop, automatically changed to . . 1 ., but others did not. It took a couple days, but I finally got all devices set to 192.168.1.x, so now everything is working again. I thought all computers, printers and other devices were all going through the Netgear. How can something that is 192.168.0.1 (the CL modem) be working on the same network as 192.168.1.x ? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
