Unfortunately I don't have console access to this machine just a 28.8 dialup is there a way to get the info without drakxtools or is there a console version of drakxtools?

Hrmm, I neveer saw that dialog that I can recall I just got an autodetected window up saying the machine had a boomerang. I watched in drooling awe as it autodetected alot of the hardware I had.

It gave me a list of ethernet cards during the install and I just picked the one that was mine. After that it asked if I wanted to use DHCP and I said yes.

Re:[Cooker]Internet Connection using a cable-modem
I have used dhcp with a cable modem and it works perfectly. However the autodetect routine on oxygen seems to be a little off It detected my friends card as a boomerang instead of a 3c59x based card this caused dhcp to fail. I changed the module to the right one and everything owrked fine. So I suggest checking the module getting loaded to make sure its agreeing with your Nic's chipset.

Re:[Cooker]Internet Connection using a cable-modem
Well, it's not that you can't use DHCP with a cable modem, I don't think you can use DHCP with a network card... Or actually you can I guess If windows does it, then you can. If cable is like DSL then all the cable modem is a converter to ethernet. It doesn't even have an IP Unless he has a router, but it doensn't look like it.

Re: Re:[Cooker]Internet Connection using a cable-modem
Thats wrong. DHCP works on my cable modem just fine. All you do is select your Eternet card from a list and it asks you if you want to use DHCP and you anwser yes. Thats how I do my installs of linux. And to add to that, my IP is dynamic.

I used to use RoadRunner with Linux (Now I just get access through the network) and it did require DHCP, but it had it's own dhcp client and login script... I dunno about @HOME tho.

As I understand it, you can NOT use DHCP with a cable modem.

Re: [Cooker] Internet Connection using a cable-modem
You need to make sure you set your IP address, and your gateway That should do it. I'm not sure how you can do DHCP with a cable modem. Just set it as a static if it never changes. But also make sure you have your default gateway set also. That should do it. You will also need your gateway to probably be set.
