Re: Turning off DHCP in SB5120
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. |

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.
