Hey

So, here is the thing. Downstairs in my flat complex there is a friend who want to setup a router as a Internet sharing point.
I tried setting his router up so that it will share the connection, normally i have no problem with this (since i have 2 set up in my apartment on two dsl connections.) But not this time, he has NTL broadband and i just cant seem to make it to share the net.

So first i thought it was a DHCP error and disabled it but the router just cant seem to connect to the internet.
tried everything, even to disable the NAT but no luck =/

It doesnt run PPPoE and just plugs and connects when connecting to a pc, so it must be set to automatic.
I even tried setting the router up with a fixed type of WAN.

I just feel like bypassing the entire sh*t and just set up a dedicated DHCP pc..

But why wont the router connect to the net?
I find this bizarre.
Please advice.
Maybe its the router?

Never mind, i just spoofed som MAC adresses, it was a kinky modem, that was all.

i think the issue here is that you needed to reset the modem..

Alot of braodband providers seem to require this when changing up the mac on the connected device..

if you spoofed the mac of the machine that was originally connected, that explains why this worked.
