comcast and router settings

[luv2liv]

my router was working fine until last week with comcast. so i bypassed the router, pump the line into the computer, internet is up. it is only when i go through the router that it doesnt work. i played around with 2 more routers, they dont work either.
any suggestions?

Are you cloning your computers netcard MAC ID into the router?

let me know how this works out

mine works fine, but a client of mines does not.

i did not think that comcast did the clone mac?

my netgear prosafe does not and it works fine

you need to powercycle the cable modem after you change the mac adress of the nic connecting to the cable modem

i tried power cycle the modem, then turn the router on, and finally connect the comp to the router, it still doesnt work.

That happens with my Linksys router too, I don't know what to do.

Release/renew in your routers settings?

My Netgear FM114P is always getting disconnected, and MOST of the time a power cycle fixes it, but its really annoying.

never had any issues with my Linksys WRT54G (which i sold on FS/FT awhile back) or new Airlink 108 mbps wireless router...pretty much stock out of the box except for the wireless security stuff (WPA and disable SSID etc...)

play with the mac address. Find one you never used before with comcast.

hit the reset button on the back of the router

As others have already said, this sounds like you need to clone your MAC address (from the computer that works when directly connected into the cable) to your router.

I've seem lots of people post that you don't need to do this with Comcast, but I can assure you that I do here (in SW Washington) where Comcast bought AT&T who bought @Home. There seem to be a lot of different set-ups out there.

Clone it! :thumbsup:

it looks like one of my computer is infected with something. because without the infected computer connected to the router, all the computers can get on the net fine. when the infected computer connects to the router, theres no internet for any of the computers.

^ nice work

this should maybe be in networking, eh?
