-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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.
