I am in the process of connecting my old Belkin wireless router to my friend's Telstra cable. I have used this with telstra cable before so I know it works.
Does he have to physically phone TelstraClear to find out what his assigned IP address is or is there a way to check through the PC?
Also, do I have to set the connection to "Static" in the router settings? I was last on TC over 2 years ago so my memory is hazy on the exact setup.
Any advice appreciated.
Oh, one more thing, I noticed that one of the two TC cable modems he has would not connect to the internet through the router. I.e the internet light just flashed, but the other one which is connected to the connected to his T-Box would connect show all of the lights including the "connected to internet" light. Are these two boxes different in some way?
Although it showed as being "connected" obviously there is no throughput as I haven't got the IP settings right.
Thanks,
DLS
