I just this evening joined your forum! I'm really hoping someone can help me with a few problems I'm having with the above modem/router. Here's some background information.
Two-computer network
OS: CentOS
For many years I've had Charter as my ISP and had a network that met all our needs with a cable modem and a Linksys Wireless-G 2.4 GHz router. (I shut the wireless feature off--I do everything hard-wired.) I have now moved, and Charter is not available. Now I'm using this MOFI modem/router with an ethernet cable that goes into a Netgear 5-port switch.
Okay now for the first problem. The two computers in our home network are used by my wife and I to maintain the Web sites I've developed. So it is absolutely essential that the Linux mount command works. I've never had any trouble mounting a directory of one computer onto the other--until MOFI. Here's the syntax that always used to work with the LINKSYS router; now it just hangs:
Here are the alternative "guesses" I've tried and the result:
Note: 192.168.10.100 is the current IP address assigned by the DHCP server on the MOFI router ("Active Leases"). The "System eth0", "IPv4 Settings" on both computers is "Automatic (DHCP)." With the LINKSYS router, I always used fixed IP addresses for both computers.
Does anyone have some experience with the MOFI 4500 modem/router and can give me any suggestions?
Thanks so much.
