The cable guy came over yesterday and said everything was fine on his end checked my computer and let me see if a new cable modem would help; no it didn't. I also put my laptop on someone elses network and it worked. Also with the routing table, everything is ok. When the charter guy told me that they use dhcp over at their hq, thats when I figured out why all my ip address kept on changing, including the the 3 hops to get there(I am assuming). I had cable before and that never happened. Anyway yes I am in the lejeune area. Where are you? I am running out of ideas, charter guys can't fugure this shi* out then I'm going to have to do something.
