First time I sent this it was via a different e-mail addy that the list doesn't recognize. ignore it when/if you see it Sean
Hi all, haven't done much but lurked since I joined the list a few months ago. At that time I was trying to get a connection server/firewall set up for my dial up system which I finally did. Now I just got Optimum Online and I configured another box with W2K for the short term to get it up and running which it is (sweet! 5000kbps (I was getting as fast as 26.4kbps on my dial up)). I would like to get back to my linux connection server (or should I just go with a router and be done with it?) but I don't know where to start. I have a Motorola SB5100 Cable Modem running on USB. I have RH 9 but can also use Mandrake 9.1 . First off, can I use the SB5100 with USB in Linux or do I have to get a second NIC? Next, what do I have to do to have Linux recognize the SB5100 (it shows up in the "Hardware Browser" as a Broadcom Corporation USB Cable Modem, Driver unknown but I don't know where to get/ install a driver for it)? Finally, where do I go from there? TIA for any info. Wayne PS, hope to finally make a meeting this week....Told the boss I WILL BE gone ON-TIME on Wednesday (If I had one wish......ok, make that TWO wishes, I wish that the meetings started at 7:00-8:00 o'clock) _______________________________________________ mhvlug mailing list - http://mhvlug.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.dague.net/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug
