[TWC] TWC DHCP errors

I have a house in Cincinnati Ohio pre-wired for network service. All I need is a modem. The time warner modem is kicking out DHCP errors. Copy of log below. I have the modem set up in "Bridge mode" so that the router assigns all ip addresses before passing to the switch. I have intermittent drops. Does anyone have any ideas on this one? It appears to be a DHCP error but I'm stumped as to what exactly it is.

Do you have a cable modem or a cable gateway (what make/model)? I've never heard of a modem acting as a DHCP server, but could be wrong.

What you want to do is disable DHCP server on all devices except your router (or even set your modem/gateway to forward all DHCP client requests to the IP of your router).

Another thing to try is to have your internal network use a scope that's different than the one the modem/gateway uses. Normally your modem/gateway has an IP of 192.168.100.1. Set your internal network to use a private network scheme other than the usual 192.168.x.x one (like 172.16.1.x or 10.1.1.x).

The full list of private network address can be found at »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pr ··· _network

You have signal problems.

The DHCP problems in the log are affecting the IP issued to the modem. The log entires are caused by the interaction with the server being interrupted.

Post the modem signals from »192.168.1.1 or »192.168.100.1

I believe this is what you are looking for:

Make and model of modem is Surfboard SBG6580. I have DHCP turned off on the modem.

I changed over to internal IP addresses of 10.1.1.100+ and we'll see what happens. Everything as of right now appears to connect. Something else I noticed last night that may be related is when I'm downloading from usenet I have significant packet loss, which brings me back to possible connection issues, even after making these changes. Doesn't appear to be the same if I use utorrent, or any other client. I've been using pingplotter to watch my connection. I did check to see if I had traffic shaping with a couple of tools I found online, but didn't appear I had that going on. Any ideas are appreciated. I think we are moving in the right direction. How does the quality of my signal look? Time warner has been out 3 times and replaced the modem 4 times...the router is new, the switch is new, heck, even all the wiring is new inside the house.

Make and model of modem is Surfboard SBG6580. I have DHCP turned off on the modem.

That's only the downstream signal info, which is ok. There is also upstream signal levels.

More errors on Monday:

I tend to think this is a roadrunner issue and it's become my problem because of their lack of interest in fixing. Any ideas?

The latest, disconnected 20x + today. Pingplotter showed packet loss at 100% intermittently for 2-3 minutes each time. Seems to be at random intervals. Roadrunner, in all of their wisdom, now believes it's an issue with the line somewhere. Does this seem consistent with the noise readings I've posted along with the other data I've provided? Since they made some change now I'm getting packetloss between the modem and the router.

Narrowing it down, took modem out of bridge mode after factory reset. Plugged direct into modem on one pc and direct into switch on the other. Same packet loss 99% of the time, meaning it's the modem for sure. Time warner at a loss.
The noise ratios when I have interference are as follows:

Also got this error this morning on the modem log
