Disabling DHCP On Comcast Gateway TC8305C

Postby jedouglas429 » Sun Jul 27, 2014 9:11 am

I can't find anything online to disable DHCP. Short of requesting it to be in bridge mode. I think this can only be done by Comcast, I think they charge for this. I'm thinking to run my amahi server I don't want it "in bridge mode" just DHCP disabled.

Is this correct?

Doesn't anybody have any experience with Comcast Gateways?

You have other options.

You could set the DHCP range to a single IP address. If you can choose that IP address starting point, make it the one for the HDA.

Also if you can reserve IP address by MAC address, make it the HDA MAC address.

I have seen this work for many with restrictions on their router.

I did this the other day and didn't think it was working. Come to find I can connect to HTTP://hda/ or http://XX.X.X.XX

I can connect to the dashboard but when I click on the installed apps it takes to the "Where is my HDA Dashboard screen"

Why would both of my Chromebook and Chromebox not get through, but all my other mobile devices all get through.

I tried this on three separate android devices, a kindle, and three Dell Laptops (running the chrome browser). They all get to app like Jinzora or Tin Can Jukebox. I am elated that it works for these, just wondering why the Chrome OS devices don't.

What setting would be preventing them to work properly?

Appears to be a DNS issue.

Need to determine where these devices are getting there DHCP leave and what DNS server they are using. If it's not the HDA IP address, then that explains your issue.
