Hi guys, i seem to have encountered a problem. I want to plug my somputer straight into my cable feed. Without going through a router. Problem is, when i do so, i dont get a connection. Look at attached scribbling for my setup. When i switch the blue cable (My computer) with the green one, i should be pluged right in, but apparently not. Please help, i really need to connect without a firewall.

You could just disable your router’s firewall.

Don’t you mean “The Sushi Man Requires Your Help” ?

Hmm - taking your green wire and simply attaching one end to modem and another end to your PC should work.

When you do so, goto Run, type in ‘ipconfig /release’ w/o quotes and wait til a dos window flashes. Wait a few seconds, goto Run again and type in ‘ipconfig /renew’ w/o quotes and wait until the dos window closes. You’re not getting connection because your computer still tries to find the old DCHP which is changed.

Try this:

Go to Control Panel\>Network Connections\>Local Area Connection (right click, properties) then do the properties of the Internet Protocol thing, and then you can put in your change it to “Use the following IP Address” and put in w/e your connection’s IP is. There’s also other boxes below that you will need to fill out. Subnet mask is usually 255.255.255.0 .

I think you have to get your DNS information from your ISP. Maybe you wrote it down somewhere already.

I can’t guarantee that will work, but I think it has a chance.

Try to set it on automatic first though, mine’s on auto. Before I learned to open some ports, I did the same thing and the ipconfig thingy worked. Also, try internet settings, make sure if you’re still using IE, it’s configured, try FF if you haven’t.

I tried to not use a router, just a switch with 2 comps and a modem pluged into it, didn’t work. Not what you asked but i thought I would say that.

i’m not sure about cable, but for my adsl it required PPoE login. perhaps there’s some kind of logging in you need to setup that was previously done by your router.

get to network connections  
right click the connection icon  
scroll down and find tcp/ip then click properties  
set to automatic  
click ok or close  
click ok or close again

right click the connection icon

the icon should turn gray

disconnect the ethernet cable from your computer  
go to start  
then run  
then type “cmd” in the blank and click ok  
at the black box type

“nbtstat -R”

it should say something like “successful purge and preload of the NBT remote cache and name table”

type exit

go to your modem

disconnect the power  
disconnect the coax cable  
unplug the ethernet cord from it

wait about 30 seconds

plug the coax cable back into the modem  
then connect the power  
allow the modem to start up - should take about 30seconds - you will see the lights blink on, then they should come and start doing that pulse blink deal

plug the other end of your blue cable(the one that was in the router)  
into the back of the modem  
plug the other end(where your computer is) back into your computer

right click the connection icon  
and select “enable”

when you plug it back into the router - so everyone can use it - you will have to do kind of the same thing - only unplug all the computers from the router when you do it -  
the router pulls the IP information from the modem and pseudo stores it - then assigns all of the computers connected IPs. If you just plug and unplug often times the IPs will hang up and be stored. the router has to know that connection was terminated and then restored.

so you would unplug your computer from the modem  
power it down disconnect the coax

unplug the computers out of the router.  
power down the router.

plug the cable modem back up and wait for it to start up-  
plug the router back into the modem  
power up the router  
plug the computers back into the router.

if the computers are running windows 2000 or xp they shouldnt need to restart.

now your computer might need to disable and renable the lan connection like we did above to refresh the IP assigned to it - hopefully the router will push it down to you.
