beachside 0 Posted April 25, 2004 Cox high speed internet just came to our home and it's been connected to my desktop pc(OS:win98) perfectly. I got also laptop pc(OS:winXP), so I pull Ethernet cable out of desktop and stick it in to my laptop Ether connector. ...won't connect to the internet. Cable modem is working as long as desktop pc has no problem connecting the internet, Ether cable also. and my laptop Ether(Built-in, Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection) shows no error, everything seems fine to me but it won't connect. Besides, it's been working at my office LAN, so can't be broken. My desktop pc is picking up IP address of 68.10...subnet but laptop pc has 192.168...subnet besides no G/W address picked up, could ping itself but anywhere else. I don't remember what I did any more, I did so many things which could possibly solve this problem, but it won't go away. If someone who know how to deal with it, please help me!!

Jerry Atrik 0 Posted April 27, 2004 unplug the pc and turn the modem off plug lappy in and turn the modem back on. cox establishes a trust when the modem is turned on so it must be rebooted to create a trust account with a new computer. Share this post Link to post
justgosh 0 Posted October 8, 2004 I just happened upon this in google and felt like adding a bit of info. The private network 10.0 is created by a router. As long as your ISP is using your Cable modem as a bridge your PC will have it's own IP. As long as your only paying for 1 IP, you will only be leased 1 IP. That wait 10 minutes before you reboot your cable modem is BS. Unplug it and plug it back in. Depending on your modem; it takes less than a second for the ram to clear and a little more for the caps to disipate (but the circuit is built with these tolerances in mind). When you are dealing with most transister devices (CRT's excluded); 10 seconds is insanely more than enough time... Unplug it and plug it back in; if it makes you feel better at night, quickly count to 10. To beachside : Buy a router. I recomend the Linksys WRT54G. The monthly cost of a second IP on the Cox network will cost you more in a years time. To anyone who Google'd TFTP and Cox : http://www.tcniso.net Share this post Link to post
jmmijo 1 Posted October 8, 2004 Another FYI for you, I'm currently on Comcast Cable, previously it was ATTBI before the buyout I currently use a Linksys BEFRS41 Cable/DSL Gateway box. Works great for my entire household Share this post Link to post
