Re: Turning off DHCP in SB5120
No need to disable a modem's DHCP server. (and no way to do it either w/o a hack)
The following is from the Moto SB5101 overview: quote:
The SB5100 family of modems contain an internal DHCP server, which is active until the modem registers with the CMTS. In the case of a problem that prevents the modem from completing its registration, the modem can still give an IP address to the client PC to enable diagnostics access.
This address is given with a very short lease (around 10 seconds) so that as soon as the registration does complete the client PC obtains its proper IP address from the core network DHCP server.

Fountain Valley, CA | Too bad I couldn't turn off the DHCP server on the modem. I really like using the DHCP server on the Linksys. Guess I have to call my cable company and tell them to give me another modem. Hope this is an option with Adelphia. Thanks Nova. |
