[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1403211, member: 46727"] You should be using DHCP. Open System Preferences, Network. Click on WiFi and then click on the "Advanced" box. Click on the TCP/IP tab. In the Configure IP4 box, you should have "Using DHCP". If not, click on the down arrow and select it. That will auto assign an IP address. Now click on the DNS tab. You should be showing a grayed out IP address which will be your router and its assigned IP address. You can also assign other DNS servers here - such as Open DNS or Google Public DNS. You may have to enter your router's internal menu and likewise go through setup to assign DHCP and other settings. You may have to check with Cox to find out what those settings are. [/QUOTE]
