Hi Daniel,<div><br></div><div>Yes, I did learn (the hard way, naturally) that the cable modem wants to be power cycled when I plug a different box into it. I will try the other suggestion to increase DHCP timeout.<br><br>

I don't if you've tried, but most of the time i have to power cycle<br>
cable modems before connecting a device with a new MAC address.<br>
<br>
Is this also a problem when you reboot the buffalo or have you only<br>
tried plugging the network cable while the router is already on? We<br>
could debug it with tcpdump.<br>
