My computer keeps pulling a 169.254.x.x IP address, the modem has been reset and power cycled and the computer is still getting the same IP address, how do I correct this?
Disconnect the Coax cable from the modem and restart it. Once the “Receive” light begins flashing reboot your computer. If the modem and the computer are communicating, the computer will get a 192.168.100.11 IP address (192.168.0.x with the SBG900) from the cable modem. Shut down your computer. Connect the Coax cable to the cable modem, restart it, and wait for the modem to sync up with the cable company. Once the modem is in sync (Power, Receive, Send, On-line are all illuminated) restart the computer. Once the computer has restarted check the IP address. The computer should have a valid IP address from the cable company. Computers attached to the SBG900 will always get a private (192.168.0.x) address regardless of whether or not the SBG900 is registered on the cable system.
