[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 260529, member: 2960"] The one thing that you cannot change, is the MAC (Media Access Control) address for each computer. The modem sets an IP for each MAC address through DHCP. Just because you are setting the IP address the same, you won't be able to connect by just swapping the ethernet cable. You are going to have to reboot the modem each and every time you change computers. That way, the modem will recognize the new MAC address and get proper DHCP for it. The only way to really avoid this is to get a router. [/QUOTE]
