weird and anoying, no right IP release

Hey,

I'm working a few months now with the Linksys WRT54G with no problems at
all, until this very evening.

I am not able to get a correct IP adres from my Host (Telenet). I get an IP
but it's not a good and working one. When I connect directly, so not using
my router, I get a good IP and do have internet.

What have I done allready :

Reset of WRT54G
Input of the latest firmware
Released the IP severall times and always get the same (wrong) IP.
I do get (normally) an IP from the host so in the setup I have to choose for
DHCP.
But now I choose static and fill in the IP i Got while connecting directly
and then it works.

What the hell is wrong ?

Have you tried cloning the MAC address of your PC? That is to say, set the
router's MAC address to the same MAC address as your PC's NIC .

Why should I do that ?
The fact is that when I choose for static IP the thing works, DHCP setting
gives the wrong IP given by the provider ??!! Weird.
It looks like the Router isn't able to get the right IP.

Blackie,

There are two PC's connected (normally).

I think what he is getting at is the possibility that your ISP wants
to see your PC's MAC (which is a common setup) and when it sees a MAC
it doesn't recognize it's giving the router a bogus IP.

Setting your router up to clone your PC's MAC address would prove or
disprove that possibility.

Try power cycling both the modem and the router. This often helps clear
both of corruption. This will not change settings in the router.

Q

Some cable companies monitor the mac address and some don't. The reason why is because it looks like just your PC is connected to the modem. Some cable companies, (Like mine.) frown on routers / multiple users and like to charge for additional IP addresses. So if you put your mac / host info into the router, the router will emulate your pc and that's all they'll see. Some cable companies are just now getting hip to end user's routers and block anything that isn't supposed to be. Of course you can call your cable company. I'm sure they'd love to hear about your setup and be more than helpful.
