Hi,
I have DSL from my apartment building. Thats great, but at the same time I'm pretty sure they don't have anyone telling them what to do or taking care of the system. Their main requirement is that your NIC runs *only* at 10 mBit. I recently bought a router, which is the problem.
The router is your basic 10/100 auto-sense DSL/Cable modem home networking solution. However, it can never get an IP from the apartments DHCP server. I'm pretty sure that the problem is that the router isn't set at 10 mBit only as both of my computers get IP's fine set at only 10 mBit. Of course I can't figure out how to set the router up that way, I'm almost certain I can't. I guess I really have two questions.
1) Does anyone have any solutions for me? Either to fix the router, bypass the router (10 mBit only hub first?), etc.
2) Does anyone know of a 10 mBit only router I can get? I haven't been able to find any.
Thanks!
