To hjf288, Kitty, and all others affected by not being able to communicate with their stand-alone cable modem in ex-C&W regions:
Please try the following experiment and report back. This assumes that your PC is directly connected to your cable modem (without a router in the way):
1. Open a command prompt window.
2. Discover your IP address by typing the command:
ipconfig
3. Let your IP address that you found be aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
4. Type exactly the command:
route add 192.168.100.0 mask 255.255.255.0 aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
where you replace
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd with the IP address that you discovered in step 2.
Now can your PC communicate with your cable modem on 192.168.100.1? For instance, try ping, and try accessing the web interface in the cable modem.
