7. FAQ
Q1.Can I switch between a notebook and PC using the same cable
modem? Will there be a problem to obtain a DHCP IP address?
A. This issue depends on how your cable modem service provider manages
the modems. If you are using one of the cable modem service providers
that register your PC based on the MAC address of the Ethernet card in
the PC, then you will have to call them and have them change that entry
every time you switch between the two. Ask them if you have problem
on this issue.
Q2.Can I use the same cable line for TV and cable modem?
A. Yes, the TV and cable modem uses the cable line. You need a splitter to
use them at the same time. Ask Cable Company to install the splitter for
you to avoid signal degradation.
Q3. My cable modem cannot get a solid green light on the Status LED
when I connect the cable back.
A. The cable modem lost the signal during the disconnection period and it
will keeps scanning other available signal. When you connect the cable
back, it might take a while to find the correct channel. You can power
cycle the modem to speedup the process since modem will remember
the channel last time and it will start from that channel at startup.
Q4. Which port of the Ethernet hub should I connect to the modem if I
need to connect multiple PC to the modem?
A. You should connect the modem to the up-link port of the hub. The link
LED of the hub will be on.
Q5. How do I see my IP address?
A. If you are using Windows 95/98/Me, the winipcfg command will show you
to IP address of the PC connected to the cable modem. Notice that even
though you seem get the same address all the time, it may still be a
dynamic address.
Q6. Can I just connect the cable modem and two computers to a hub?
A. Yes. You need to make sure you can get two IP addresses from your
cable modem service provider. Connect the modem to the up-link port of
the hub.
