Hi,

The router has 4 Ethernet ports all with auto sensing an uplink port. I have used it in my home set up previously with another ADSL router modem (I have two ADSL lines at home) and I have successfully routed PC's connected to this DG834G to my other router for accessing the internet. DHCP on the other router worked fine through this router and PC's were auto configured for internet access through the first router. But as both routers were on the same subnet I think this is why it worked fine.

If there was some way to determine the ip range and subnet that the cable modem issues on its Ethernet port I could then configure the router to have a similar range and set up. But I cannot find how to do this. As I said in the first post, I am surprised that the cable modem issues an 82.XXX IP address to the laptop's DHCP when connected directly to the modem.

Any other suggestions? Thanks
