Hi Guys,

I was able to tenet to exchange.1and1.co.uk successfully (blank screen with cursor flashing) so looks like the router is being a pain in the arse and doing something with my traffic. On that note, can I just take a moment to explain our full setup in the hope that someone out there can help me out on the configuration side of things.

Firstly, our VM service is Internet + TV + Phone and we are using a Scientific Atlanta EPC2100R2 to connect to the cable etc.
Currently we have a Belkin Router (F5D7230-4 6000) connected to the Modem. This belkin router is essentially a DHCP server for our local network - IT DOES NOT HOWEVER SERVE A WIRELESS CONNECTION. For our wireless we have an Apple AirPort Express (on 802.11n+g+b) in 'Bridged' mode this is connected to the router in the normal fashion and the DCHP and IP's etc.. all work fine - local networking and general internet browsing works a treat.

I have removed the Apple AirPort from this equation and it makes no difference to the RPC over HTTP issue originally explained in my first post.

Ideally, I would like to remove the Belkin Router from our setup, however, I failed to get the AirPort Express to recognise the cable modem. I have tried various settings including entering all of the DNS addresses manually with no luck. If anyone out there has successfully connected an AirPort EXPRESS directly to a Scientific Atlanta cable modem can you please give me some insight into the settings on your AirPort?

Also both the Belkin and the AirPort have the latest firmwire updates.

F.Y.I. I am at the University of Plymouth studying BSc (HONS) Computing for anyone who wants to know!

Many Thanks,

James

Sorry forgot to say in my previous post, the back of my Scientific Atlanta device does have both an Eternet (RJ45?) and USB B connection. I did briefly try to hook up my laptop directly to the Eternet cable but could not get the internet to connect - clearly my IP settings etc were wrong.

Is connecting directly to the modem easier via USB? I dont happen to have any disks ( / drivers) for the device so are there any tips one can give me for getting it setup?
