Hi all,
I need to keep my IP address that's currently assigned to my SH, but when I place the SH is modem only mode, the IP address is different. I understand this is because of the mac address which is being "learned" from what ever is connected to port one.
My MAC address of the SH ends in :cc and when viewing the source on the status, the device mac (HTML commented) ends in :cd. While in SH mode, running the command arp -a shows that's 192.168.0.1 ends in :cf
The starting MAC address is the same for all of the above with just the last 2 changing.
I have set my NiC to each one of these addresses, each time restarting the modem but always returning a private ip address. I have given each restart at least 2 minutes just incase.
I'm not sure what to do next. Am I using the wrong MAC address? Or is it just not Possible at all? It's very important for me to keep the same IP address due to work reasons, and would take too long to get everything changed as I've just gone through this process the other week due to being upgraded to the SH
I hope someone can shed some light on this.
P.s the ip address I have posted from is from another connection due to not being at home.
