[QUOTE="Obtruse, post: 340779, member: 24266"] I just saw this thread and thought I'd comment on a few things I noticed. First, the same thing with the MAC address happened to me when I got my first router in 9th grade. Took me 5 hours to figure it out, but I finally found that you have to leave your router off for atleast 15 minutes to clear the MAC address cache. Also, I bet you the reason why your modem was causing so much trouble was because it was also a DHCP server, and having two DHCP servers on the same subnet was causing resolution conflicts. Not sure why you would need to put the Airport Extreme in bridging mode? As far as your 17" iMac is concerned - are you sure you haven't plugged it into the WAN port? Also, do you know for sure the cable is good? Is your iMac even getting an IP address? Can it ping the router? [/QUOTE]
