Hi all, I have searched and searched but I could not find a solution to the problem I am having.
First of all, here is the hardware: Linksys 8-port BEFSR81 router, Motorola Surfboard 3100, D-Link DI-524 wireless router, two computers and a laptop.
I stream Winamp to Shoutcast to listen to at work. I have been for the last month and a half. I recently moved to a new appartment, set up everything and worked for about a week. I was at work and between the ours of 2pm and 4pm on Thusday, the 11th, the stream cuts off. I go home and my internet works, but it was VERY slow. I disconnect eveything and thats when I lost it. The modem only works when one computer hooks up to it directly. The Linksys router will sometimes not let me into it's firmware, and when I hook the modem up to the D-Link, it will not see the modem. I have tried upgrading firmware, shutting things down in order, and calling Cox. Cox would not help me unless I subscribe to their "Home Networking" service (an extra 9.99 a month). The only thing I changed on my service is I removed the second computer service (basically another IP). The router should take care of that, correct?
Anyways, I thought that when I removed the second computer service from Cox was the problem, so I changed it back. Still, nothing. I sent Cox an email and let them know of my frustration (I can always vent better when I am typing) and they told me I would have to call them.
Does anyone know if Cox started doing something differently lately? I have tried both router off of the modem but I get nothing. Here is one wierd thing, the internet worked for a while when I hooked the modem into one of the ports of the router instead of the WAN port. Then, the next day, nothing could get to the internet again. Err!!!
