hey everyone, i got a huge problem... i figure i'd post my question here since there seems to be more ppl here then at cable/dsl boards...
anyway, im using cable modem and windows xp and as of yesterday for some reason windows screwed up and is setting it's own ip! i called optimum online and they told me that they should be setting the ip for me to use and not windows. so i reinstalled windows but that didn't help...
does anyone know how to fix this? it's really confusing... i mean when i go to the connection icon on the task bar i can see that there's info being sent and rcv'd but i can't connect to anything... and it's not ie b/c i tried aim, aol, telnet, and even ran ip config and nothing... basically i have an ip set by win and not by opt. online...
thanks!
