Re: Westell 2100 Modem and a LinkSyS BEFSR41 Router:

ByteBender, I cannot thank you enough. Seriously.

This router stuff has been boggling me on/off for several days now... and you come along and resolve the issue in one fell swoop.

Thank you again.

The "ipconfig /release" has it! (Sorry, bad government joke)

Indeed, it was the "ipconfig /release" command which resolved my impasse issue here.

Thanks again Byte! And thanks to the rest of you for helping as well!

P.S. Funny how LinkSYS themselves couldn't resolve this issue after two days of thorough (or is that not-so-thorough?) Tech Support.

 You're definitely welcome anytime.
It's actually an ISP thing, yours uses strict MAC filtering on the DHCP connections, meaning they capture and record the MAC of whatever device you connect with, binding that MAC to the IP address issued. Thereafter, until the DHCP lease expires, only that MAC can receive an IP on that circuit. Releasing the IP unbinds it from that MAC, allowing a new MAC to then be captured and recorded.

Any way you're quite welcome
enjoy.
