Hi John,
I have the ethernet from the ONT connected into a switch, and then a
connection from the switch goes to the Actiontec. Everything is
working.
Actiontec is assigned the 1st of the 5 IP addresses I've been given.
xx.xx.xx.58. I can ping it from my DSL line.
I assign a PC my next static IP, xx.xx.xx.59. Also assign the gateway &
dns servers. Connect PC to the switch. Nothing.
How can I use the other 4 static IPs?
thanks!!!
