I left the Motorola SB5100 modem unplugged for 10-15 mins and tried again. Same message. It does not get an IP address.
I tried going to the modem page by going to 192.168.100.1 and copied the mac address down. I put than on pfSense and still the same issue. I don't get any IP address.
I have noticed in the past that when I plug the SMC router into the modem, I initially get ip 192.168.100.10. Then when I release and renew, the modem learns my routers mac address and assigns me the real IP. If I clone the modems mac on the SMC router then I get the real IP without getting the 192.168.10.1 address first.
Is there any one using pfSense with RCN Cable Internet?
