Solved! Static IP Question
Posted: Thu Jan 01, 2009 6:32 pm
the ol' project from hades continues.
there are 5 static ips available call them 1-5 and then a gateway IP call it 6. they are all sequential. the dwarves in charleston still haven't configured their cisco firewall/router . When I just tried to hook up a regular linksys router to the line, it was showing an IP that was not in the correct range and I could not get to the net?
must be a trick involving the gateway and the static ips that I don't know...
Turns out there was a little problemo on the Comcast side - took 2 techs and a tier2 guy to solve it - they had set up the static IPs in the Richmond Va geographic "container" , which cannot be accessed by Washington D.C. "container"....so it was the old you can't get there from here problem.
The tier2 guy set up new static IPs in the correct "container" and the internet mysteriously appeared!
Networking with the power line adapters was quick and easy.
