Hi
I have a comcast biz static ip
the netgear d3000 cable modem provided to me is set to dhcp and currently gives the router an WAN ip of 10.1.10.64 with a default gateway of 10.1.10.1
I called them and asked them to turn of dhcp (which they did) and set me to my correct ip address
96.88.228.9 with a /30 255.255.255.252 subnet and a gateway of 96.88.228.10
when i set my ethernet to static and enter the values listed above the connection gives an up indicator but does not route traffic (can not get to webpages but i can from the router ping 96.88.228.10)
the Comcast tech said that in the arp cache he could see 192.168.40.1 which is the LAN gateway (again i confirmed that eth1"wan" was going to modem and eth0 LAN was going to the switch AND the system was working with DHCO enabled and no hardware was changed)
If i plug my laptop into the rotuer with the network port configured to the settings listed above i was able to reach the web
any suggestions as to what might be happening and what i can do to troubleshoot
Thanks
