While in parlance you can call it modem technically it is a modem only
if connecting through serial port. If it is connecting through network
cable it is a network device and your problem would be more in area of
setting up IP and ranges.
Its a cable modem. When I connect a Windows machine to it, I connect it on the
LAN port (Network cable). Once the modem is on, I need no configuration,
usernames, passwords, etc. I can access the net.
When I connect it to my Debian box, I need to connect it to USB (as my Debian
box does not have LAN port - Ethernet cable), I am not able to access the net.
So, do I need to 'install' the modem so Debian knows there is a networking
device on the USB port and then use pppconfig.
Apologies if I am not able to use appropriate technical terms.
