Re: [HSI] AirPort Can't Get Legit IP Address From Charter Cable
Just a few questions
1 Are you trying to pull more than 1 IP at a time ?
2 Just how are the AirPorts hooked up ( what to what )?
3 Is there a router in the picture ? |

Malibu, CA | 1. No. I just need one working IP address. The AirPort redirects the stream.
2. The AirPort (I only use one at a time) is plugged into the modem via ethernet.
3. No. The AirPort works as the router.
Thanks! |

Kitty Hawk, NC | Are you power cycling the modem before connecting the Airport? Is the Airport set for DHCP on the WAN port?

| Well, I had done it many times, but I tried it yet again at your suggestion.
And, it worked! 
I have no idea why it wasn't grabbing a good IP before, but it did this time.
Thanks so much. |

| It seems Charter Cable service is not recognizing or giving an legit IP address to airport base station. It just started acting up 3 weeks ago.
Here is the work around.
1. hook up cable modem to ethernet switch box with just one Mac/PC connected.
2. Power Cycle modem, boot up the computer; you will get an IP address.
3. enable Internet sharing on your Mac/PC via whatever the ethernet port you have cable connected to (eg. ethernet 1 on Mac)
4. configure airport base station to be "bridge mode".
5. hook up airport base station to the ethernet switch box
Now it works!!!!!
