[TriLUG] RR Setup

[Reginald Reed]

Try to open a browser to http://192.168.100.1 on my SB3100, this gets me to
the embedded webserver on the cable modem.  You should be able to look at
various statistics and logs.  This may give you a clue as to what is going
on.

Also, this may be really obvious, but have you tried power cycling the cable
modem?
