So based on what I see here your network is as follows...<br><br>MediaCom-Router -> Hubs -> Computers...<br><br>if so than the problem is probably in the hubs. the MediaCom router normally will only speak to 1 computer (or routeable device)...<br>
<br>Unless I am mistaken,<br>you will need to get a firewall router or other router of some sort... have that connected to the MediaCom device and then the computers will get their IP addresses from it... technically MC only provides for a single computer per household.<br>
<br>But I could be wrong<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Aug 16, 2009 at 2:24 PM, Rob Miller <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rob@dotcomservices.com">rob@dotcomservices.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
We switched from Qwest to Mediacom and the technician hooked up one of our computers to access the Internet. However, none of the other computers on our home network can find the Internet. I've tried what I know to do and I get a message that the other computers cannot renew the IP address. Should I turn off all the computers, then the two hubs, then the Mediacom modem and then turn them back on? Mediacom first then hubs then computers? Thanks. Rob
