I don't have Comcast or a dog. I have RCN and bunnies. They like to eat cables, so I have them off the ground. Target sells these little white wire baskets than hang on the edge of shelves or desks. I have my cable modem sitting in one of those baskets, and my router screwed to the bottom of the desk. I also have an UPS screwed to the bottom of the desk, so all the cabling is neat and "bunny proofed". It was a bit of work to set up, but my connection stays up for eight months at a time. Regarding your dhcp stuff. My guess is that if you had your router do a dhcp lease request you would get the same result as having your desktop do it. I vaguely remember having to rerequest my lease like that back in the days when I had Comcast. -- David Backeberg (dave at math.mit.edu) Network Staff Assistant MIT Math Dept.
