that was prior, during the direct connection to the modem i got an ip via ***1 also.
What kind of service (DSL/Cable) and which modem do you have?
Stewart:
Most DSL modems, even when set for external PPPoE, will hand out a 192.168.x.x address by DHCP, so that you can easily view modem status and change modem settings. However, you can't access the Internet by this path. If the OBi got such an address, the "direct to modem" test was not meaningful.
Please post both modem make/model, router make/model, and any special settings you have configured in either.
thaison:
the cable modem is scienctific atlanta, model # dpc2100. I for got to add that i have this set up at two other houses. The setup was a snap. the cable modems are the same i all 3 houses. again the first two was a snap to setup.
router=cisco model e10000-rm

thaison,
The OBi should work (as a test to eliminate your router as the source of the problem) connected directly to your cable modem. It's imporatant to power-cycle BOTH the OBI and the cable modem after making this connection.
I would suggest taking your OBi to one of the other two successful installations and connecting it there (with the resident OBi there temporarily disconnected) to verify that you have a working unit.
thaison:
ok, i will do that ty, will post results when i get back
thank you
