The switch is done! Well sort of done….
Our business class Comcast broadband was installed on Thursday and after a few bumps and annoy things, all is back to semi-normal. (Please let me know if that isn’t the case, but both my iPhone and external shell account are now pointing to the right locations)
I have some clean up left to-do, mainly getting my domain to point to the static IP the right way and not using the DDNS which has been handling it for years now. I’ll mess with that later. But I wanted to list all the things which ‘went wrong’, since it starts getting a little funny.
- instead of getting to take half a day off to be here for the installer, got sucked into major problem at work. (Lucked out that Rosie was staying home that day anyhow)
- Install decides that coax installation which was working great since we moved in was bad, rips most of it out. (So I’ll need to go put another run into the upstairs TV at some point)
- Install so use to ‘taking’ the cable modem already at house packs up my personal one and leaves with it. (He was super nice about it when I called today and dropped it back by, this was probably work order mess up more then his fault)
- While Rosie was trying to hack things together enough to get home network back on the tubes, manages to plug external IP address into router as internal address. Bye bye tubes. (She got things mostly back by reseting the router)
- Nothing I was doing made the DHCP server hand out my internal DNS server address, so all internal boxes could talk to the tubes, but not each other. (Finally found secret check box that made it work again)
- Figure out that new cable modem was doing both NAT and Firewalling, which was preventing me from using the static IP’s addresses. Sucked down the manual (since Comcast doesn’t provide one) and figured out how to turn it off. But the default login/password wouldn’t work. Dickhead Comcast changed it and didn’t bother to document it.
I finally found a very helpful post about setting up the static IP address, the guy was nice enough to document what Dickhead Comcast changes the default password to. As soon as I was able to get in, things started working pretty quickly.
NOTE: After cleaning up, I discovered the password had been
