This could be for a number of reasons. Is the cable modem a pure modem, or is it also a router? Is authentication to the ISP's network configured at the PC, or is it configured at the modem? If the authentication is configured at the PC/client end rather than the modem, then you are probably not using the correct encapsulation for the cable network and, or have not cloned/spoofed the MAC address of the nominated client (your PC). I guess that your ADSL will be using PPP over ATM (PPPoA), if it's anything like what we have in most of the UK, while your cable is most likely using PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE). In any case, you will need to change the respective settings in your Netgear router. BTW, which router is it? If it is one of the DG834 domestic models, these have both (ADSL) modem and router combined into one unit. Again, depending on whether your cable modem acts as a bridge or as a client on the Comcast network you may or may not need to set up authentication on the router side (in the Netgear modem configuration). > I can connect the cable modem direct to a pc and using the software > that comes with it establish a connection to the internet, but I > wanted to have that firewall/router in between the cable modem and home > pcs. > > But that is only on a windows machine. That should not stop you finding out what IP address the PC uses to connect to the modem and if needed what the MAC address of the PC's NIC is that Comcast has registered as a legitimate client. Go to My Connections and select the NIC being used to connect to the modem and then click on Status/Support and note what the IP Address: shows. If this a private reserved LAN IP address then check what the Default Gateway: IP address is. Use that in a browser, or telnet console to connect to your modem. If however this is an Internet address then this won't be good for connecting to modem, which is now acting as a bridge to the ISP's network - the IP address is served by your ISP's dhcp server. Another way to find out what IP addresses are being seen by the PC is to go to Run and enter ipconfig /all. Note the IP Address: and Default Gateway: as above. Also note the MAC address (this is called Physical Address). In summary, enter the MAC address into your Netgear router and try to connect without authentication, in the hope that the cable modem deals with that. If this does not work, then also enter the username/passwd and select PPPoE for encapsulation. In both cases select dhcp as opposed to static IP on the router. > The help file that comes with the modem provides no information about > how one talks to the modem. No ethernet address is supplied.

This is because the vast majority of users out there will never want or be able to connect to the modem. The few who connect could well mess it up and raise fault tickets unnecessarily.

Have you also tried: 192.168.1.254 and .255 10.10.10.1 and 10.1.10.1 BTW, before you try to connect to any of the above first change your Gentoo's IP address statically, by running as root: ifconfig 192.168.0.2 The exact number is not important as long as it is in the same subdomain (e.g. 192.168.0.0) and it does not conflict with the expected LAN IP

[gentoo-user] Interface fonts
Hi, I use e17 as my window manager, with a lot of kde apps and some gtk ones thrown in for good measure. The problem is getting all these apps to use vaguely similar fonts and font sizes for the interface (menus, statusbar, etc) What's an easy way to specify the interface fonts for gtk apps without using gnome? I could especially use some pointers for firefox (I *think* about:config does this somewhere) but openoffice and gimp have me stumped - both are using huge fonts currently for the menus on my machine -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] [OT] Migrating Drupal websites
I am not quite sure how best to setup a local Drupal development server. This is only for developing the websites, which when ready for publishing will be migrated to the hosting server. Still at the planning stage with all this, I want to keep each website separate. So I was thinking of having separate MySQL users, each with their own MySQL database. Also, I am not sure where to save (physically) each database. Is it prudent to keep them separately under the respective virtual host domainname fs (/var/www/), or should I leave these under the default /var/lib/mysql/, or where ever they are normally stored? Haven't looked into tablespaces yet. For the sake of avoiding a major domestic, I want to make sure that migration to the hosting server will happen without any glitches, or worse having to redesign the website from scratch! What's a clever way of going about this? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Unless your comcast connection differs from my own, you won't need to authenticate. Instead, they should have recorded your modem's MAC address. AFAIK we use ppp-oe for (a)dsl here in the states, and all cable modem connections I've ever seen have been transparent (though no doubt they use some sort of ppp as well) -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Many ISPs do block 25. send me an IP if you want me to map from here. Otherwise, I'm sure if it looks closed, and you have it open on your end, it's got to be an ISP blockage.

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Interrogate network for devices
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sorry for the OT, but unable to raise anyone at comcast right now. I think I recall having read somewhere that one can do something to discover what devices are on a network (Home lan). And what there addresses are. I've recently switched from DSL to Cable connection but still have both working currently. I had assumed my netgear-firewall/router would find the Cable modem and be able to talk to it, but that isn't happening. I can connect the cable modem direct to a pc and using the software that comes with it establish a connection to the internet, but I wanted to have that firewall/router in between the cable modem and home pcs. But that is only on a windows machine. The help file that comes with the modem provides no information about how one talks to the modem. No ethernet address is supplied. However it is an ethernet device and connects to the pc with ethernet cable. Apparently comcast felt it wiser to provide no details and let its software do the connecting. But can't I learn the IP address (inward facing) of the modem? The IP from outside is of course visible to ipconfig, when connecting to internet from a windows machine thru the cable modem, but I see nothing that indicates what its lanside ethernet address is. Its obviously connecting to the pc with dhcp so setting the netgear to listen for dhcp seemed like it should work... but doesn't. I thought I would be able to connect to the cable modem with a browser and maybe learn enough to make the netgear router/firewall connect to it, or one of my gentoo boxes, so have tried a few of the semi-standard addresses other ethernet hubs/routers etc default to, like 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1 and a few more. I'm not sure if this will work for you or not but it worked for me when I was at my ex's and we had cable there. Cut everything off. Turn on the modem and wait a minute or two after the lights stop changing and blinking. Turn on the next device, router in our case, and wait a few minutes again. Then turn on the computers. I always cut on the one hooked to the ethernet #1 port first but it may not matter. That was my Linux box and it was always on, 24/7. I also had to change the IP address on the router to a fixed address to get it to work right. I think I had it set to 192.168.100.2. After that, we had very little trouble with the connection. The modem itself was 192.168.100.1. If you hook your computer directly to the modem, you can see things like signal strength and stuff. Can't change anything tho. You just get to look. I think it had like a reset button too. Also, if I had anything between the computer and the modem, I could not see the modem at all. YMMV. Oh, we had Vista-Media to. If that matters any. May not help but may be worth a shot in the dark. Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Migrating Drupal websites
Mick wrote: I am not quite sure how best to setup a local Drupal development server. This is only for developing the websites, which when ready for publishing will be migrated to the hosting server. Still at the planning stage with all this, I want to keep each website separate. So I was thinking of having separate MySQL users, each with their own MySQL database. Also, I am not sure where to save (physically) each database. Is it prudent to keep them separately under the respective virtual host domainname fs (/var/www/), or should I leave these under the default /var/lib/mysql/, or where ever they are normally stored? Haven't looked into tablespaces yet. For the sake of avoiding a major domestic, I want to make sure that migration to the hosting server will happen without any glitches, or worse having to redesign the website from scratch! What's a clever way of going about this? Are you going to be running multiple instances of Mysql or just letting each site have it's own db within Mysql? Most of the time people do that later and if that is the case Mysql will store each db in it's own dir under /var/lib/mysql/. I do recommend using a customer prefix for databases. Some thing like acme_drupal, sears_drupal, etc which will make it much simpler to remember what db is for what. You'll need to work out your release system. I'm not sure what tools drupal offers if any. Have you looked through their docs? kashani -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

You could install Wireshark and capture the traffic between the modem and the PC in the case where it works.

I would think that if the netgear router is a DHCP client on its WAN interface, then connecting the WAN interface to the cable modem should work. I've done that with a few different router/cable-modem combinations with Comcast (nee T-W), and it always worked. Can you trace the newtork traffic between the netgear and the cable modem? That would require either a hub or a properly configured managed switch, so that may not be a simple task. > I thought I would be able to connect to the cable modem with a > browser and maybe learn enough to make the netgear > router/firewall connect to it, or one of my gentoo boxes, so > have tried a few of the semi-standard addresses other ethernet > hubs/routers etc default to, like 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1 and > a few more. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

Or maybe it's something different, something I haven't seen. I'm no guru on this thing but for some reason the DHCP part in the Linksys router would just not accept the address from the modem. Sort of weird in a way tho. Since I use Linux only, I never installed any software. I just pointed my browser to that address and up it popped. That would work when looking for the modem or the router. Tho I could not get to the modem if the router was in the middle. Not sure what the deal is on that.
