IS-IT--Management
hey all, ok here is the problem:
one of my friends has a cable modem and their ISP is comcast@home. they have the BEFSR41 router and it just will not connect to the net. without the router everything works fine, but once you try to get behind it, nothing happens....
here are the fields in the administration webmin and what i have tried:
--------------------
host name: [name of computer provided by comcast]
domain name: [@HOME]
obtain ip automatically
-------------------
thats basically what i had set and it didnt work. i tried putting in the cable modem's IP (which is not static) and it was a nogo. tried leaving the host/domain names blank; still nothing. tried disabling DHCP and manually setting an internal IP (192.168.1.XXX), tried enabling it, still nothing. the cpu pulls an IP from the router when it is enabled. also tried renaming the work-group and cpu name to something else when i had what comcast provided in the host/domain name in the 'min'.
i dont know what else to try, dare i say i am at wits end...aye....any help would be gladly appreciated... thanks in advance... "Less work more network" (HP) -- its so catchy
