I have a Motorola SURFboard SBG901 Wireless Cable Modem Gateway (SBG901), (note this product is a router and modem). I have a cable line coming from Time Warner plugged into this product. I then connected an apple airport extreme to this modem.
I intend to use the motorola product only as a cable modem and the apple airport extreme as the router. I log into the cable modem and disabled NAPT but I enabled DHCP and NAP on the airport extreme.
I just made an ubuntu server and modified /etc/network/interfaces
file to assign it a static IP as follows:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.1.1
I reserved an IP address on air port extreme for this server. I have spent the entire day, but cannot get the server to connect to the internet. The server is an old dell PC that I have and it is connected via ethernet cable to the apple router.
Can someone please assist why my server cannot connect to the internet? I have many other laptops and other devices which connect no problem, and I see no error messages on my routers. I also did sudo service networking restart
but that did not work. Thank you in advance.
