Wow, 200+ peers. That would be 200+ seperate connections, correct? Maybe your PC is having trouble proccessing all the action? What is your total B/W usage when connected to all those peers? btw; I have an SB4200 at home and I easily obtain 9/1 speeds on it, what are your advertised speeds?

I know I am chiming in late, but: Thanks CA3LE!! Been out of the loop for about a week and a half. ( working in the Sun Valley, Idaho, area away from home. Having TMN withdrawals, but the mountain climate helps with that ) I appreciate everything you have put together here.

I have to say, I personally don't get offended by the adult material; but I can't help imagining one of the younger members here looking at some adult material on TMN when his/her parent takes a peak over their shoulder..... So I changed the vote back to "no". I say we keep it FX Channel clean, you know like the "shit" episode of South Park, or Sipowitz' bare A$$. That is adult enough for me, this way we can avoid completely corrupting someone's "little angel".

Yes, you will have to restart your modem most of the time, just unplug it's power for 5 seconds or so and then plug it back in. Or the restart function will work, too. Now, just to verify, what was your original IP address? Just want to make sure we are talking about the IP given to the router by the modem, and not the IP given to the PC by the router.

Odd, I replied to your last post last night, but must not have submitted it??? Anyways, if that did not work, then maybe Insight BB is set up a different way then Cox and Comcast, etc. That is the only way I can think of to try to force an IP change without calling your isp.

No red flags, it will look exactly as if you went out and bought a new router and replaced your old one with it. If your curious, maybe look into Brighthouse' service agreements online. And 100% agree with you on Megadeth. Glad Dave did not retire for good with the nerve issues a few years back. edit: My turn 4 dinner, be back later........

The router will reset itself after you submit the changes. By changing the MAC address, the cable modem will assume that the hardware has been changed and therefore it will be assigned it's own new IP address. The MAC tables in your ISP's CMTS will still remember you're old IP address for a while and it will keep that IP bound to the old hardware MAC id. If you change the MAC id back, you will most likely get the same IP address back. (all depending on how long it is reserved while not being used) There is allot more to this, but I am not a networking guru, I just work on the gear between the CMTS and the tap.

BTW, I like the sig. Been a Dave Mustaine and Megadeth fan since his split from Metallica. I get crap sometimes for being the old guy listening to Hangar 18 or something on the local pub's juke box.

Then your fine. I wouldn't sweat it, if it doesn't work, then just return the router to it's original configuration by disabling the clone MAC function. I should ask why you want to do this, but it doesn't really matter to me. This is not illegal unless you are trying to clone a MAC in order to get free services, etc.

Well, if Brighthouse doesn't bind their IP address to your specific MAC address, then you will be fine, it will be the same as buying a new router and plugging it in as the new router will have a new MAC. The chances of accidentally cloning your MAC to another active device on their system is pretty slim. Did you have to give your ISP the routers MAC address when you signed up? (I'm actually not sure how that works as Cox does not work that way)

yes, just change your last character by 1 - if it is a letter, it needs to be between A and F.

Yeah, your right, I should have said that. I usually just change the very last character, not that I need a new IP ever, though. Screenshot below shows where to change it (in that version anyways):

It can easily be done with the WRT54g, but I am not exactly sure how, I have a D-Link myself. Will look into it -- maybe another member can jump in with the directions??

If you have a router, you can try changing it's MAC address. You only need to change one of the hexadecimal characters, shouldn't matter which.

Hey, scatrbrain, what brand and model modem do you have?

I'll take the easy route......welcome to the forum m4st3r.y0d4.

Party on!!!

I have only seen the first one before...lol. I used to live down the street from the Suburban dealer in Sandy, Oregon. (notice Mt Hood in the commercials). I like the one with the body dumped into the river. Good find.

That is the stuff nigtmares are made of.....yuk. Just another Sunday, cholla - doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Nice set up- I tried using a TV with my ATI All-in-Wonder set-up for a second monitor. It did not work so well, the resolution on the TV was PAINFULL - I think I had a headache for a week after that attempt. $290 for a Samsung 19"? Might have to consider an upgrade.

I was just looking thru the manual, and it looks like you would have to manually close port 80 to mess it up. It should be open by default (like most routers). Have you had this one for a while, or did someone else use it before?

Welcome to the forum RXDriv3r- .s1, did you go thru the basics yet with your friend? Is the IP your getting associated with the router/gateway? For example, my router's IP is 192.168.0.1, and all devices connected are 192.168.0.xxx. And port 80 is not closed by chance on the wireless side?

Thanks, I did FW to Chase Bank, although I know they already know. I was surprised the site is still up, and how good it looks. I could definitely see a naive user giving up their info without question.

I started a new email account a couple weeks ago. Right away I get a phishing message. It is supposedly from Chase bank (I do not bank there). So I followed the link to their fake site, it looks damn good, actually. It is registered in amsterdamn. Here is the address: http://88.39.141.17/chase/chaseonline.chase.com/online/home/index.php And roll back to the IP, http://88.39.141.17/, you get the index of their Apache server. I wonder if anyone can pull any info from their? Here is the email:
