So that means that I have (at least) a problem in my computer? Since
it doesn't learn who the router is from the IGMPs packets:

Can there something be wrong with the mask used?

So that means my router is indeed brain dead.

I captured it on my computer, 192.168.10.100

The cable modem connects to my router. From my router 2 RJ45 cables
connect to 2 computers. Both (Linux) computers fail network connection
at the same time.
I don't use any switch hardware device.

I have to say that when my NIC connects directly to the cable modem
(no router in the middle) I don't have any problems with my network
connection.


Thanks for your feedback.
