Re: Trouble with dsl connection.

I had a problem with my DSL dropping frequently and regularly with an Actiontec Modem in a Residential setting.

I have Dos Batch files that I use to: Ping, Check IP addressing, etc. And when connection dropped I couldn't ping past the DSL Modem. Had to reboot all.

I found that somehow the DSL modem had the same IP address [192.168.x.x] as that of my Wireless AP and Router which was a Netgear.

Connection was - phone line to Modem and Modem to Netgear AP/Router.

And it seemed that the Actiontec was acting as a DHCP server.

Solution was to change the Netgear's [192.168.y.y] use of IP addresses to something other than what the Actiontec was using.

Was this my problem? Not sure but once I made changes - never had that problem again.
