Hi all, first time poster here and networking noob.
I just got a pair of ActionTec MOCA adapters and had a quick question.
I live in an apartment building and the apt is split into different floors. My modem is on the bottom floor, but I have my PS3 which I want to connect to the network on the top floor. When I plug in the 2nd MOCA adapter on the top floor, both the ethernet and coax lights come on, but I can't seem to connect properly. Specifically, I connected a laptop to the 2nd MOCA adapter and tried to go on the internet using Chrome, and the error message read something like "DNS lookup failed". I know this coax outlet works since that is what I connect my cable box to...
However, when i perform the exact same test on another coax outlet on the same floor as the modem (where I hook up my cable box down there), everything works fine.
Any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks in advance for your help
