Well, It was easy than I expected. The cable modem configuration from Drake wasn't successfull because the location of dhcs was impossible. I runned windows and then winipcfg to know if the IP, DNS and Gateway where fixed (the advertisment said "automatic") and there where!!. The next thing to do was in Netconf put the appropriate DNS, Gateway and IP number, like in a lan, for the correspondent ethernet card (in my case the eth1 because the eth0 is for connection with my laptop). Accept everything and click on Do it (changes). I saw the Activity led running and, great! now my cable modem conexion is running.
