Getting my wireless ADSL Router\Modem to work with mycable modem
I have just moved house from a non cabled area to a cabled one.
In my old house I was using a D-Link DSL-G604T wireless ADSL router to connect to the net via my phone line wirelessly and it worked fine. In my new house I now have a cable connection with telewest (using a Motorola SB4200 surfboard cable modem) and want to be able to use my router to connect to the cable modem as i don't want cables trailing all over the house to connect to the modem.
I had this working briefly yesterday, when i did an ipconfig the wireless connection had a telewest ip address (not sure about the NIC card. don't think it had one) anyway as soon as i did a renew of the IP address on the wireless connection it dropped the telewest Ip and assigned a 192.168.1.2 address i.e it had assigned an internal network address from the router when i want the extrenal one assigned by telewest. I want to connect straight through the router to the modem, anyone know how to do this?
I have seen a few posts on here advising this is not possible with this adsl router\modem but it did work for a while yesterday so please no "get a new router posts!!!!"
P.S I have a little networking knowledge but not much so any help would be great.
