Guys,

I typed my default gatewau on the URL address bar in IE and it lead me to "Linkysys Phone Adapter Configuration" so that means this default gateway belongs to my phone adapter and not from comcast who is my ISP .

Pls help

pls help

 

so does no one has any answer? Is it that difficult situation

 

It's possible that Comcast has registered the Phone Adapter's MAC address (think of it as a SSN) so when you connect directly, their servers doesn't recognise your PC's MAC address.

I have no clue what you mean by Phone Adapter. What is the make and model? It sounds like it's a router of some kind. So when you do the gateway in the URL section that's why you are getting the adapter's information.

(PS I Have comcast too)

I am sure you guys will resolve this issue...

 

There is no need to 'bump' every hour. Once a day, as the guidelines suggest, is sufficient to get people's attention.

I think that you finally said that "phone adapter" means your VOIP router, right?

And you are unable to connect a computer directly to the modem, right? There is at least one definite reason for that--you are trying to use a private IP address! Change it back to 'obtain IP auto' and 'obtain DNS auto.' And remember to power cycle (unplug it for a moment) the modem when switching devices connected to it.

Finally, I think you said that what you really want to do is use both the VOIP router and a wireless router. If so, use the VOIP as the primary and do it the following way.

JohnWill's procedure for configuring a secondary router as a switch and, optionally, wireless access point follows.

Connecting two SOHO broadband routers together.

Configure the IP address of the secondary router to be in the same subnet as the primary router, but out of the range of the DHCP server in the primary router. For instance DHCP server addresses 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.100, I'd assign the secondary router 192.168.0.254 as it's IP address.

Disable the DHCP server in the secondary router.

Setup the wireless section just the way you would if it was the primary router.

Connect from the primary router's LAN port to one of the LAN ports on the secondary router. If there is no uplink port and neither of the routers have auto-sensing ports, use a cross-over cable. Leave the WAN port unconnected!
