I have cable modem for my internet connection. My service provider gave me a Cisco ubr900 cable modem/router. This particular unit has 4 ports in the back. However, when the person installed the modem I believe he set the DHCP settings so that only 1 computer can be used on the router. I just bought a new computer and want to hook it up to this router so that both of my computers can access the internet. Is there a way to get into the settings of this router and change the DHCP settings?? I do not have any information or IP's to help me get into the router. ANY IDEAS????

Thanks in advance for all your help and advice

There's nothing that says you HAVE to use DHCP. Find out what the IP address of your first computer is. Also, find out what the IP address of your Router is. (Your modem router should have 2 addresses. An external Address provided by the ISP, and an internal Address, probably in either the 10.0.0.x or 192.168.x.x range). Pick a number one greater than either, and assign the second computer that IP. Also, set the Gateway settings and DNS settings to point to the Router, and it should all be good to go.


eg. Router is internal 192.168.0.1
1st comp is 192.168.0.2
make 2nd comp 192.168.0.3 / Gateway 192.168.0.1 / DNS 192.168.0.1

I actually went through all the information in that link. I could not find the internal IP address for this unit?? Is that the only way to solve my problem.

Why not just call your provider and tell them the porblem and have them come out and fix it - should be no charge for the service call. They may be able to tell you over the phone as well.

If you're using Win9x, go to Start, Run, and type in "winipcfg". When the IP Configuration dialog pops up, select your network card in the drop down list (it may be the only item in the list). The hit the "more information" or whatever button it is at the bottom of the dialog. This will list all the available information regarding your network settings as they were set up by DHCP.

From this you can get the "gateway" address, which is the internal IP of your router. You can use that to connect to the router and make any changes to the configuration. Optionally, you can ignore the DHCP problem and simply reproduce the configuration of this machine on the second machine, changing only the IP address. It will use the same gateway, subnet mask, and DNS servers.

I'm not sure though that the tech would have configured the router to ONLY allow one machine via DHCP. In fact I'm not sure it'd be intuitive how to do that, and I think that Rogers probably would find it not worth the bother of getting the techs to do that, unless they're even more off on the idea of making people pay to use more than one machine than American cable companies. Most cable/DSL routers are essentially plug and play. They come with a default configuration which allows them to get a dynamic IP from the cable/DSL provider, and provide dynamic IP addressing for the internal network. Unless you saw the tech actually going in and configuring things in the router (via telnet or a web based config), they probably didn't do anything to make it only work with one machine. What is possible is that the "router" isn't actually doing any routing, but is just bridging the connection, so when you try to get an address on the second machine, it's actually trying to get a second address from Rogers, who won't allow that.
