My computer cannot connect to the Internet via MoCA. What should I do?
First, check the connection, and make sure all cables are connected correctly.
Then make sure the NIM is still connected, and check the Ethernet connection
to the NIM from the computer. A computer cannot be connected directly via a
MoCA cable; it must go through a NIM to connect. The NIM converts the MoCA
signal to an Ethernet signal the computer can understand.
I used DHCP to configure my network. Do I need to restart my computer
to refresh my IP address?
No. Follow these steps to refresh the IP address:
Windows 98SE, Me - Select Start, Run, type "winipcfg, " and press Enter. Ensure
the Ethernet adapter is selected in the device box. Press the Release_all button,
then press the Renew_all button.
Windows 2000 - Select Start, Run, type "cmd, " and press Enter. At the DOS
prompt, type "ipconfig /release" and press Enter, then type "ipconfig /renew"
and press Enter.

back in.
