Good day all,
I've been testing the CM in my office with great success. The Win2K DHCP server does everything it should, and the phones work great. So I thouhgt it was time to bring a set home and give it a go.
BUT, the set will not get any DHCP info from the cable provider. I contacted RR about this issue and they were less than helpful stating that it would be a Cisco issue as their service does not block DHCP requests to any MAC ranges or device types.
My CM is 3.1 and the firmware on the set would be that version also. I will try a later firmware later, but wanted to get some info from you guys first:
Is there any reason why I cannot receive DHCP info from the cable provider?
Does Cisco have any 'tricks' for setting the set up for this task?
Well, thanks in advance for your input.
