I connected a switch to the modem and connected 3 computers to the switch. However, only one PC gets the dynamic IP address. (The same issue was discussed here: »Multiple computers with unique Cox dynamic IPs). Can CoxTechRep help me with this issue ?
i cant find it on the cox.net website but i believe you have to have ultimate to get the 3 free dhcp ips all other plans are limited to one (this could vary market to market)
Thanks for all your replies. Here is the screenshot: Residential Home > My Connection > Internet Tools > Computer Access, the app says "Computers Allowed" = 3. Does this mean that I can get upto 3 cox dynamic public ip addresses without any additional fee ? Let me know.
Why not simply purchase a wired/wireless router and use that to share the cable modem connection instead of paying for extra computers to be connected?
The number of computers allowed being 3 means you can purchase additional IP addresses for 2 more computers for a total of 3. Ultimate Tier customers as an added benefit have 3 dynamic IP addresses included with their package.
