Well from experience of using a Telewest/Blueyonder cable modem, the modem has an IP address of 192.168.1.100 or something similar when it's first turned on, and then picks up an IP address from the ISP using DHCP. If the router is turned on first, it'll set it's gateway to the internet to 192.168.1.100.Julian Hall wrote:One thing that can catch people out is the order you power the system up. For example my router manual says that you *must* turn on the cablemodem (or DSL modem) first, and *then* the router, or else you get no internet connectivity. If you're going to have a combined router/modem that won't be a problem, but it is one to watch out for.Yuk. Sounds like a firmware flaw by that manufacturer, never heard of anything like that before.
