Re: [HSI] AirPort Can't Get Legit IP Address From Charter Cable
Well, I had done it many times, but I tried it yet again at your suggestion.
And, it worked! 
I have no idea why it wasn't grabbing a good IP before, but it did this time.
Thanks so much. |

| It seems Charter Cable service is not recognizing or giving an legit IP address to airport base station. It just started acting up 3 weeks ago.
Here is the work around.
1. hook up cable modem to ethernet switch box with just one Mac/PC connected.
2. Power Cycle modem, boot up the computer; you will get an IP address.
3. enable Internet sharing on your Mac/PC via whatever the ethernet port you have cable connected to (eg. ethernet 1 on Mac)
4. configure airport base station to be "bridge mode".
5. hook up airport base station to the ethernet switch box
Now it works!!!!!
