| Rogers Customer ID (CRxxxxx-a) Not used ? I setup a Rogers highspeed Lan using a simple router last week and it worked great. Today it doesn't connect
Is it true that Rogers isn't using the Customer ID anymore in the HOSTNAME section ?
I had: CRxxxxx-a.phub.bloor.rogers.cable.com
or something very close to that..
What should I input now ?
Thanks, Stephanie |

Thanks again |
|
| Can anyone confirm that the removal
of the hostname is a RECENT change ? |

Nothing changed in the routers configs
because only I know the password.
Hope that gives u a better idea.

North Las Vegas, NV | and what modem? |
|
| I'm not 100% but I think it's a Motorola.
Should that make much of a difference ?
What are your thoughts ? |

well its seems like everything should be okay. What I would do would be to turn off both the modem and the router. Wait a minute, turn on the modem, wait till its fully sync'd then turn on the router and see what happens. If it doesn't work, call rogers! |

The CRxxxxx number is no longer used, the MAC address of the ethernet interface is used to assign you an IP address. You can try release the current IP you use, disconnect the computer, hook up the router, reset the modem, and see if you can acquire an IP. If not, call Rogers and tell them you have a new ethernet card and require them to clear their arp cache for you.
HTH. |

If you mention the word 'router' they say,
"help on that subject is beyond our scope"
translation: "don't split our cable, because we can't do anything about it !"
haha  :):):):):)
Thanks for the help, I'll try it
tomorrow and let everyone know |
