Re: How to set up 327w B90 as a router for TWC?

OK, one more symptom, internet works on my laptop, which was what they used to set up the internet and stuff when they were in my house installing the wires and the cable box. However internet doesn't work on my other desktop.

I have Windows Vista on my laptop, ipconfig /all shows the normal IP address.

I have Windows XP on my desktop, ipconfig /all shows IP address as 169.254.105.91. Also just recently installed Windows, didn't work before reinstallation, didn't work after either

Both computers were able to access internet when I had Verizon, using the westell 327w back then.

That's likely the same problem. The "169.254" addresses are what you are assigned when DHCP fails. Unfortunately, they are only useful on the local net.

It seems that the MAC address of our laptop is what your ISP recognizes.

Both worked with verizon and the 327w because the 327w is a router of sorts.

OK, just got it to work.

And for future reference and for the benefit of others here's what I did.

I called TWC, they reset the modem and everything worked.

I'm glad you got it working.
