hey i have been trying to get 2.2 (i386) working with rogers @home cable modem service. the problem that i keep encountering is that i can only get on-line when i am using a NIC that has been used with the cable modem in windows. if the card is used elsewhere or the cable modem is used with another card then i get the following results:
-eth0 configured correctly with all the static info i put in correct (ip, gateway, netmask etc.) and correct driver -when i try to ping an ip (my gateway or any other active ip) i can see the send and receive lights on the cable modem active, but i get 100% packet lose my assumption under this situation is that the ping gets out and back in to the modem (hense the send AND receive lights) but doesn't actually make it to my machine. i have tried this set up with 3 separate computers and 5 different NICs (SMC, dlink, 3c900b, 2 sohoware) but all have the same results. i have tried to "power cycle" the modem but that did not work as well. i'm stumped. does anybody know anything about how i can get around this? b
