PC + Macs on Same WLAN Network Have Relationship Issues?

runcible rakan Right I'm on this again....

1. I reset the modem downstairs and now have admin access to it. Its the standard BeThere Speedtouch job which i find really badly laid out admin wise. I couldnt find a way to switch off DHCP on it.
   
2. There is someone who connects to that modem with an ethernet cable, so if I did switch off the DHCP on that and left it to the router upstairs the cabled guy couldnt connect, right?
   
3. There is a new PC in the house, and this gets perpetually stuck on "assigning IP", I can get into the router and modem admin pages but cant get onto the net at all from it. So I guess that reinforces what you guys were saying.
   
   

The channel isn't default, but i'll change it anyway....

Edit// ahh the router is setup by BEthere in there special way so you cant tinker with lots of things + the password and user name for the ISP is hidden in there somewhere so would have to get the logon details off BE and find a way to wipe the modem clean and then start again. In that case its too much effort ;)

oooooh :)

1. as soon as he turns off his PC the IP would be lost and he would end up with the could not allocate IP error message next time he tried to connect. you would need to assign him a static IP address, or just simply plug him into the wireless device if it has a spare Ethernet port and let the DHCP on the wireless take care of addressing.
   
   

Can you flip the modem over and get any model numbers? and~~ whats your Wireless device? is it a router or an access point~~ got it from above post ;)
