That's true, long runs and large splits are really what they are for... with RG-6 there is a 4 - 6 Db loss per 100ft (higher loss on higher freq.) .. and 3.5Db loss per 2 way splite (depending on the splitter).
I think FFMCobalt's comments were completely unnecessary, considering what he replied with was completely wrong... Anyone with any real technical knowledge on cable, go up and look at his reply "Your 192 address is bogus. The IP assigned by the ISP is not going to be a 192 address." ROFL... and then he claims to have worked for a major ISP !!! :laugh:

You never worked for cable company, maybe before modems.. Typing your own wan address will do nothing, you have to actually access your modem locally you dip sh*t .. For customer end the only way to access such data is using the modems built in status page or using docsdiag
:roll: You're an idiot. Many cable internet companies use a 10. IP address. There are two ways to get to your modem: WAN and LAN. It's possible to get to your modem both ways. Hell, if you have an ISP that has NO FREAKING CLUE what they're doing, you'd be able to hack someone else's modem. A modem and a PC are exactly identical, in a way. They're both accessable via IP and they can be controlled either locally or remotely. How the hell do you think your ISP controls your modem? How do you think they can power cycle a modem remotely? lol - this really is comedy genius.

Yes, but you cant access your own modem both ways, your access through the wan when you are the ISP. I was giving the person instructions on how to access there own modem, typing your wan ip into browser normally will only try to connect to a http server that doesn't exist, isp's use different software to access remotely, not browser.
Go head, type your wan ip into browser and see what happends, if you have a web server running you will connect to your own website, if not it will just time out.. With browser you can only access the modem through it's status page address (which is 192.168.100.1 for motorola and a few others).
I have. Right along with other members of this board. I've worked for two years sitting next to the same guy who used to post on these boards. I've helped a few on Anandtech with their cable internet problems from a professional standpoint, calling them on behalf of the company, resolving their issues. I'm good friends with a guy who is active on these boards and who still works in an AT&T Comcast regional data center about an hour from my house. I used to work for @Home before they joined with Excite and died. That was doing second level tech support for Cox, MediaOne, Comcast, AT&T, etc. Then they went under and I went to work for Comcast. They moved their people to Canada, so I went to work for AT&T Broadband, but was then bought out by Comcast and their people moved to Canada.
Jesus, I don't know why I'm babbling all of this -like a little peon like you deserves my time. :roll: Go spout your nonsense. I'm sure there's some clueless ass out there who's willing to believe you.
ok enough arguing, this doesn't help the original poster.. YOU MUST USE THE MODEMS LOCAL IP TO CONENCT TO IT LOCALLYS, AND THATS FINAL!

LOL - you don't seem to have any idea how the internet works, man. The reason you can't get to your cable modem through WAN is because your ISP knows what the fvck they're doing! :laugh: It has nothing to do with an "http server" -hahaha! Thanks for the laugh. This just gets funnier and funnier.
keep it up! I needed a good laugh.Originally posted by: FFMCobalt

No sh|t, dumbass. Because the ISP is blocking the connection -a connection that would connect just fine if the ISP weren't blocking it. :roll:
Back before @Home and Excite merged, those who got set up usually had a few hour window where they couuld browse other people's PCs and their own modems via their browser, if they knew what an IP was. The software running on the ISP's side didn't start provisioning until after the modem was online.
man fvck you people, im off to dslr.net , atleast them people actually know how there hardware works...
When you access your own modem to see signal you do it one of 2 ways...
typing it's status page into browser (192.168.100.1) or whatever (READL: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d.h.walker/cmtips/signal.html#sbdiags)
Or: you use a program called "docsdiag" (which is what needs to be used on a select few of modems that dont have the feature to display it's configurations)
The way the ISP accesses modems is completly different from the way the end user acceses there own modems. YOU DONT EVEN NEED CABLE TO ACCESS THE CABLE MODEM, you can unhook the coax, and still be able to access the modem's status page (it will just say "offline" and signal area will be blank)

I dont care if no one agree's with me, however I dont think you should agree with anything ffmcobalt said, he doesn't even know that http://192.168.100.1 will access a surfboard modem status page.. I mean im feeling almost as if I have to link him to motorola's product guide on surfboard modems.
:roll: Just where did I call you an ignorant liar about the status page, you fvcktard? I used to support surfboards. I was playing with more Surfboard models on a daily basis than you have brain cells.
Duh. Your cable modem has it's OWN, SEPARATE IP (not the IP that's assigned to your computer) that you probably can't weasle out of it unless you've got software to help you h4x0r the modem, or get it from your ISP.
You think your computer's IP is the same as your modem's IP?
/me slaps forehead.
