Hey There,
I use a cable modem, and basicly there is nothing much to know.
Unlike ADSL, you don't need a PPPOE or PPPOA or any of that shit, it's a
simple
IP over ethernet connection.
However, bare in mind the follow rules:
1. You can't change the network card the ISP will give you, as it's MAC
address
is defined within the ISP LDAP server, and is required for obtaining
an IP address.
2. If you want to try an use your own cable modem/router, DON'T. Most
ISPs in
Israel still don't support that many cable modems, due to a deal
they sigend with
the cable modem company, so the CMTS is configured to support those
modems,
which are not totally compliant to DOCSIS 1.0 and DOCSIS 1.1 (unless
something
changed in the ISPs policy in 10 months, which I dought).
Apart from that, nothing more to know or understand basicly. If you
need help, just e-mail
me, I'll be glad to lend a hand. I have a setup working at home, so I'm
sure I could be of
help.
Best regards,
Nir Simionovich
