Do you have an ethernet card in your machine anyway. It sounds like drakconnect is detecting your winmodem, (yuck) and an ehternet card, but missing the cable modem on usb. If your cable modem can take an thernet connection, you might be better off connecting the cable modem to your nic as opposed to your usb port. I am not familiar with hooking up cable modems to usb ports under linux though, so if you want to take that issue up, I'll have to defer to someone else on the list. You seem to be doing great though in your experimentation. I hope your not getting frustrated, but instead soaking up the learning experience as you take control of your own computer. -- /g "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read" -Groucho Marx
