Just switched from earthlink DSL to rogers cable modem. Airport worked fine on earthlink. I can't seem to get both computers online with rogers. I checked their site and there's no prohibition against home networking, in fact, they tell you how to do it for PCs in vague terms. I had rogers cable modem working on my iBook. Then configured the base station and my iMac was able to use it. But my iBook can't get to the internet via airport now. Both are running 10.2 (iBook 10.2.1, iMac 10.2.2). The base station is using 4.0.7.
when I look at network prefs, the settings are identical but the "Using DHCP" values are very different. The succesful iMac has:
IP address: 24.100.42.73
router: 24.100.42.1
while the unsuccessful iBook has:
IP address: 10.0.1.2
router: 10.0.1.1
The iBook is able to print to a shared USB printer connected to the iMac, so I know it's able to use the Airport network successfully, but why can't it access the Internet?
Thanks,
Mike
