unscrewing the coax used to be (and may still be) used when pc's can't lease a valid ip and the modem is online...

if with the coax out the pc picks up a 169 then it is likely to be a pc issue, but if it picks up a 192 address it is likely to be a network/ modem issue.

Can't see why it was necessary in this case though
