existing ethernet wired connections not working

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

What IP's are you getting on the computers? Are they static
or DHCP assigned?

Also notice that MS is using by default the 192.168.2.x
subnet (notice the 2 -- this is different from most
vendors) -- this means that you may need to reconfigure the
hub/switch on the basement or the base LAN address on the
MN 500/700.
