UBR-904 cablemodem/router

this is what it is currently showing:

end

What I want is the following:

I want it so that I plug 3 different ethernet ports in the back. TWO of them will go to local computers. ONE will go into a SWITCH, from that SWITCH, there will be FOUR computers connected there. I would like the UBR-904 to be 192.168.1.1 and run DHCP for the other computers IP addresses. I would like the UBR-904 to get DHCP from comcast (my cable ISP).

If I were you, the first thing I would do is upgrade that ancient 11.3 code (that's probably what is running based on the startup config version) to something current. The latest code is 12.1(22)c; it requires 8M RAM and 4M flash. You can check this by doing a "show ver" (post the output if you're unsure). PM me if you need info on obtaining this code. You'll need some TFTP server software for your PC to perform the upgrade; there are some freely available packages. Feel free to ask further questions.

Before you get too far into this, I should add that it looks like the uBR904 is too stupid to do NAT when using a DHCP-assigned IP address. See NAT on uBR904 Cable Access Routers Configuration Example for details. It sounds like this is what you're trying to accomplish, unfortunately.

hrmmm, what should i do? lol, I cannot find a "good" consumer grade router. They always fizzle out after a few months.

Have you tried the Linksys WRT54GS? It's worked well for me and has Sveasoft firmware available with lots of features. If you really want a Cisco box at home, consider the 831 or SOHO 91.
