hello!
i am new.
i don't know where else to ask my questions so i am asking them here.
i would be glad to get a few replies. this issue is driving me spare!
i originally had 2 ADSL modems and about 5 computers on a single 192.168.1.x network
i had kept DHCP enabled on one modem and disabled it on the other.
a few days ago i switched over to Cable Modem.
now i have 2 Scientific Atlanta Web-Star DPC2100R2 modems.
the first issue is that they are programmed in Bridged mode
other than getting a few SNMP replies on 192.168.100.1 and seeing a very rudimentary status page on 192.168.100.1:80 everything else is disabled.
the LAN IPs that the modems assign to my computers are very weird, they are not LAN series IPs at all.
202.137.208.x are assigned to my computers.
also both the modems are running DHCP so i cant specify a particular computer to hook on to a particular modem
the IPS of the LAN side of the modem also keep changing. (the IP specified as the default gateway on the computer)
the HFC?? (the cable people are calling it a node) is on my premises
i can use onestep, but only barely.
i also have very rudimentary skills in electronics (soldering is good, designing is zilch)
is it possible to disable DHCP on one or both the modems?
is it possible to specify a 192.168.1.x IP as the LAN side IP? i don't care what happens on the cable side of the modem.
please help!
thanks in advance,
Arkantos
