Ambit U10C020 Cable Modem issues....

I have the above mentioned modem through Time-Warner, which seems to have a built-in DHCP server that cannot be disabled, at least not by any conventional means. I can access the web based control panel for it, but there aren’t any options for disabling DHCP on it. I can telnet into it also, but there aren’t any command available that I can find.

So, I guess I have two questions.

Anyone know of a way to turn the DHCP off on this modem?

If not, is there a way that I could still use the MT 450 router I purchased and still get the public IP and use the MT like everyone else does? Right now, I have it configured just like the instructions for the home DSL except for the PPPoe, which isn’t applicable here. When I connect everything, the DHCP client gets a local address from the modem and will not get the public address. This is at a business location.

I also have an MT 350 installed at my house through a different cable internet provider, and mine works fine. Of course I have a “normal” cable modem.

If there’s no way to fix this, I’ll call Time-Warner and get them to give me a different modem.

I’ve been searching for days, and haven’t had any luck finding an answer.

Thanks,
Dan

Call your ISP.

Thanks. I’ll do that first thing in the morning on Monday. At least now I know that I don’t need to waste any more time trying to set it up with that modem.
