| Ok, I took apart my network this weekend and carted it over to my parents house. I havent gotten it set up there yet, and I'm still living in the apartment until later this week. That being said, I've got an issue with my cable modem. It was originally plugged into a NAT machine running Redhat 7.2. The service is Roadrunner, and all I should have to do to set it up is have the card set to grab an address from the DHCP server, which it should automatically look up. Thus far I have been able to get nothing. My laptop runs windows as well as linux and neither are picking up an address. All the lights are on and working fine, the modem is obvously getting traffic and etc. Yesterday morning it worked perfectly with my NAT box, and because the modem was across the room on another shelf, it was not bumped, knocked, dropped, or even touched while I was disassembling everything else. Anyone have any clues on what I can do to get the darn thing working with my laptop? I've tried restarting it, resetting it, leaving it unplugged for an hour or so, tried windows and linux, tinkered under both, tried manually grabbing an addy from the DHCP...nothing has given me any luck. But I bet if I go home and grab the NAT box and plug it in everything will work just peachy. (and before you suggest I do that...my room there is a disaster area, with the computers being in the back corner surrounded by stacks of boxes chest high.) So...any ideas? |
