Thanks. I'm a little overwhelmed. This forum is unreal! The responses and info are great. Some forums take forever to get some response. I tried release & renew to no avail. Based previous suggestions of power down cable modem and PC or uninstall/reinstall NIC situation, I believe I'll get...

Lone Wolf that was another thought I had. I believe XP would probably like that. By the jarhead, I was a "squid", USN. Proud to meet a fellow veteran. Thanks.

Here in Western Massachusetts AT&T Broadband with a cable modem is usally 1,2,3 [no setup except for DHCP auto]. In this my customer did something unusual, methinks. Thank you. My understanding is that PPPOE usually entails DSL, no? Thanks though. I need to check back with my customer with...

Thank you. I hope Im conveying this right. See my other replies about resetting modem. Will give try. Thanks. -Ron PS. Love to reply to everyone in one shot, but sometimes even on the Internet a personal touch should be done.

DHCP was started automatically. Again, I'm going for the re-reset in a "slower" fashion. Thanks. -Ron

Thanks. I'm thinking the same thing after talking to a colleague. At&T broadband is really 1,2,3 [that simple]. Perhaps the cable modem was off long enough to reset. Will try. Thanks. -Ron

If I understand you correctly, you want to connect another 'network' or 'workgroup' connect to your PC NIC and share or rather route? the Internet access you already have on your PC NIC [the same NIC?] that is wireless? Sounds like you want to merge two networks; I've used two NICs in a server...

The best I can help you with on this is that I have a colleague that swears by Netgear. I have used some of their hubs over the years with no problems. I have no specifics on the product you seek. -Ron

This forum is unreal. I figured I get a reply tomorrow or so. Thanks, TheOmegaCode. AT&T does register the MAC address and that's done. So 169.xx.xx.xx is "bogus" and a sign of can't find DHCP? Sounds like I need to "undo" the NIC installation and redo it to find the DHCP, because I seem...

Hello. I posted this in Operating Systems also. I new at this particular forum. Anyway, I can't seem to release a 169.X.X.X TCP/IP address so that I can connect to Internet via broadband. It's a new Dell PC. The only thing I can think of is removing the network board [NIC] and reinstalling...

Hello. I can't seem to release a 169.X.X.X TCP/IP address so that I can connect to Internet via broadband. It's a new Dell PC. The only thing I can think of is removing the network board [NIC] and reinstalling after a cold boot of XP without the NIC. I am guessing there's a way to do it via...
