Well John, I went down to Fry's today and bought a Netgear 4 port router. I tried to set it up and it couldn't even connect to my ISP, which is cable modem and assigns ip addresses automatically (so how could it fail to get the address?). So, I plugged my leaky Belkin router back in and was up and running again immediately. I guess I'll try a D-Link router next.
Are you SURE you plugged the WAN port into the cable modem? Did power cycle the router after plugging it in? I submit that if Netgear couldn't even get an ip on a cable modem they would have long since gone out of business. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
