You said you had. Apparently you hadn't. Gah.


To "hard reset" a cable modem and router to regain a new IP and reset the DHCP server:
1)Unplug both the modem and the router for 30 seconds.
2)Plug in the modem first and let it establish a connection with the ISP(lights go through a sequence.)
3)Then plug in the router and you should be back up and running.

I guess I should've explained it better. Glad you're back up.

I actually have to "hard reset" my network quite often 'cause it loses DSL connection whenever it rains. I have a feeling it has to with the drop at the street that sits under a foot of soil that turns into a puddle whenever it rains. The putz that came out to repair it last was a putz. Need to get it fixed again.
