Changing IP on Charter Surfboard Modem on a Mac
Hello,
This is what has been working for me; perhaps all of these steps are not necessary:
1. Disconnect the modem FOR SEVERAL HOURS. Disconnect the cable, power and firewire line.
2. Pull up network in your System Prefrences under TCP/IP, write down the current IP address, change form "Using DHCP" to "Using DHCP with manual address" Change the last number to something else, click "Apply Now."
3. Re-hook up modem, push reset button on the modem (large off/on button).
4. Change Network back to "Using DHCP" click "Renew DHCP Lease" and then "Apply Now". Check to see if the ip address has changed.
This seems to work about 70% of the time for me. Sometimes the IP address comes up the same. Someone let me know if one of these steps is not necessary.
