OSX cant connect to shares without static IP / DNS


Recommended Posts

I think it's time for a new router. 2003 was the last time I used a combo modem router from the ISP. They are bad.  I recently used a Comcast xfinity combo unit for a few days just to remind me how bad they are. Was able to bridge it and turn it into a cable modem only and all problems went away.  I've used from old Linksys wrt-54gl to Netgear 7000 routers. The one thing I've standardized on is to flash them all with dd-wrt/tomato firmware.

 

The problems with ISP supplied combo units is legendary and well known. I've never used the one you have but that's what I think you are up against.

I'm happy to confirm that the Sky SR102 router solved the problem  :D

 

I've used exactly the same settings / ip assignments as the previous set up, so it must have been something to do with the old router / fibre modem.

 

Thank you all.
