Hello all - pardon the off-topic question, but I seem to need some help here.

After two hours of fooling around with my DSL modem, and two calls to Cavalier Telephone tech support, I **still** have no DSL service. So, I throw myself at the mercy of the knowledgeable on this list.

The setup **seems** simple - System Prefs -> Network - under TCP/IP, type in the IP address, subnet mask, etc, and it should work. After a lot of go-round with CavTel tech support, they said my ethernet must be faulty, but I tried it on my daughter's eMac and her new MacBook, all with the same (non)result. So, I wonder, could it be the ethernet cord? Or the modem? The phone line is fine, because dial-up still works.

I read David Pogue (Missing Manual) re: ethernet connections, but there doesn't seem to be much to know or configure beyond what CavTel says in their instructions.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Frustrated in Richmond...

David
