A second IP address for a second second life
Since my wife and I have been having problems when connecting to Second Life at the same time, I went ahead and ordered a second IP Address from my cable company, Comcast. It costs $6.95 extra per month. To keep my budget within reason, I called up my cell phone company and asked them to change my phone plan. So after moving money around in the budget, it turns out that I’ll have about eighteen dollars more per month.
Anyhow the extra IP address was made available to me immediately - or so I was told. Rite now I’m just confused as to how to set one of my computers up to use the extra IP address. I have a Linksys Router (BEFW11S4 V2/V3) and a Terayon cable modem (TJ715x).
I discovered today that the cable modem has its own service located at http://192.168.100.1. This is interesting because I’ve seen this IP address before. I think our computers used to have its address in there network settings when we were troubleshooting our connection problems in the past. I always assumed that we were somehow connecting to a neighbors wireless DHCP hub.
A page went on to give information about many types of cable modems. This modem also has some diagnostic information at http://192.168.100.1/diagnostics_page.html. It has a password on the page. Chances are, if you know how to access the page, you probably know that the password is “icu4at!”.
Problem is, I went in here searching for something telling me how many computers are allowed to connect to the modem. I hear that the cable company needs to set my CPE parameter, and that it can only be changed by Tier 3 reps. I don’t know what I’m doing, and I’m not quite certain if I’m getting anywhere either.

Lewie the IP addy you stated 192.168.100.1 is the internal ip of your router and all routers have basically same ip (slight differences tho most are 192.168.x.x.
When you put that addy in your browser with that password only those hooked to your router can see it.
There is no reason to get another ip address. If you want to usethe other IP send me an email (see below) and I can tell you how to configure your IP/TCP protocol but it is much easier to do what I listed below:
Just go to your secondlife shortcut —-
RICHT CLICK the shortcut and click properties
Where it says PROPERTIES:
(Should look like this:)
“C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe”
On YOUR computer change it to:
“C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe” -port13000-13050
On YOUR WIFES computer change it to:
“C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe” -port12020-12050
you can email me if you have any questions
