Linksys router and linksys cable modem. Cable modem is whre the
service enters the house, from there it is cat5 up to my office area
where the WRT54G takes over.
I wasn't getting an IP, so I connected my PC right up to the cable
modem - eliminating the modem, still didn't get an IP.
Called Comcrap they guided me through some bullshit - blah blah -
nothing I hadn't tried before after all; I'm an IT guy.
Didn't work. She puts me on hold to see if there is a problemin my
area - viola. I have an IP.
I told her I'm fixed and say thanks. I'm always nice to those people,
no need to people others' lives difficult.
30 minutes later - same thing. no IP. I shut everything down - cable
modem and router - unplugged.
I mow the lawn and take a shower (45 minutes).
I come back, plug in the modem, plug in my router - no IP.
I make something to eat. A hoagie. No mayo.
I now have an IP.
So did Comcast simply want me to make a hoagie?

What's the length of your DHCP lease? Maybe they're working on
splitting the network in your area, although that should usually be a
lot more seamless than it's apparently been for you.

I can't find out how long the lease is in my router's information...

I have a WRT54G, but I'm running dd-wrt firmware so I can't help you
find it. If the Linksys firmware doesn't provide that information, you
could bypass the router and connect directly to the modem. That way
you could use "ipconfig /all" from a command prompt to see it.

Meanwhile, maybe someone else will chime in with a better answer.

I connected the damn PC right up to theinternet.
The lease is 30 days.
I am out of town, so as soon as I left its fucked. The people living
with me, tried resetting the modem/router, waiting 45 minutes -
NOTHING.
Comshit blames the router; despite the fact there has been no change
to the god damn thing.
