Hi Ben,
Below is what I got when I typed ipconfig /all. Is my
computer IP address being treated as a router?
I just turned off the firewall in the ActionTec modem/router
but still had the problem of connecting to an audio stream.
Are you saying just having a router is enough of a firewall
and I don't need the firewall on?
What in the world does "Lease Obtained" mean?
I probably won't be able to do anything else till tomorrow
afternoon.
In the modem/router system log file I saw
"domain_name_not_set_invalid" and I noticed that with
ipconfig it says same thing about host name.
Thank you for your help. I wish I understood more about
networking.
Tom

>Hi Tom,

>Usually, the 192.168.0.1 address is the address of your
modem/router. I assume you have DHCP enabled on your
computer so that the router assigns an IP address to your
computer. Do you know what the IP address of the computer
is? You can open a command window on your computer and type
ipconfig . That will tell you what IP address has been
assigned to your computer. With only one computer,
192.168.0.2 may be the IP address assigned to it.

built in firewall.
>Have you tried turning that off? A router on its own
because of the network address translation is a firewall. So
an extra software firewall while nice could be causing some
problems. Since you've looked at the router logs I assume
you can get into the router.
