I just started with a cable co ISP. They provided a Scientific Atlanta DPC2100 modem and I have had a Netgear WGT624v2 lying around that I thought I would put into use. After much back and forth with the CableCo (I had to convince them that they had a real problem at a node that caused their service to be intermittent at best) they found their loose screw and tightened it;-> .. and now the modem signal is strong and regular. I can connect a laptop to it and it works fine. But when I connect the router everything appears OK but it won’t route data originating from from my PC. It obtains the IP address and DNS servers from the ISP fine using it’s internal DHCP client. I set the local network to offer DHCP services internally and that works fine as well. But when I check the Netgear router statistics it shows the LAN transmit and receive but only receiving on the WAN. I tried decreasing the MTU – nada… The cable co won’t give me support cuz ?t ain’t their product” .. and I haven’t found an equiv problem purusing tech repub.. The thing is I know the router works because I can configure it to run off my 2-Wire DSL modem and it works fine.. Wireless and wired.. Any ideas? Thx!
and BTW – the Internet lite on the Netgear is flashing like crazy. hmmm…
oh yes – sorry about entering this as a discussion – I realize it is a question but messed up before submitting it..
