Dennis Huss Member	# Posted: 8 Feb 2008 12:01 Is there a device that will convert CAT6 cable to coaxial cable then back again? Could I do this with two cable modems?
Shnerdly Moderator	# Posted: 8 Feb 2008 15:44 - Edited by: Shnerdly Welcome to the forum Dennis Huss I don't think so. A Cable Modem on the Coaxial side looks for a DHCP server to give it an IP Address. Without that DHCP server it probably wouldn't connect to anything, even another modem. I'm not aware of a way to give the coaxial side a static IP and even if you could, I would doubt the firmware in the modems is sophisticated enough to support a network on it's own. I'm not saying it can't be done but I don't know of a way to do it.
