hi all,
i have a machine running xp pro, a 3com cable modem, and a linksys router.. now.. when i plug the cable modem directly into the computer i get one ip address, and when the router connects, it gets a completely different address..
the ip address i want is anything other than the one my router picks up.. i've had this ip address for like 6 months now, and can not get rid of it, only way is for me to connect the modem directly into my computer.
i've updated the firmware, even reset the router hoping that maybe the memory of the ip was still in there, but to no avail.. i really can't stand having this ip..
i have optimum online service..
btw, i've done dhcp release/renew.. get the same stupid ip.. any suggestions?
thanks,
