RE: [expert] cable modem problems
My cable modem works with no problems. I find that DHCP does not work well. I use a manual configuration. You should use Drak Conf from root and enter the IP address at the host setup. You also need the correct net mask. Mine is 255.255.254.0 but yours may be different. You also must set up the gateway ip and the DNS ip addresses. After you have done all of this and make it current it should work. It does for me. If you do not know these addresses because you are using DHCP in windows you can get them all with winipcfg from Star Run. This should work easily and well. BE SURE top do it from log on as root or it will not stick. I mean log on as root not the su that happens if you are not. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 10, 2000 9:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [expert] cable modem problems any more info ... what have you tried ... have you read the Cable-modem HOWTO ... it was pretty straight forward Michael -Original Message- From: Philip Watson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, July 09, 2000 9:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] cable modem problems I can't seem to get my cable modem to work.

Thank You Philip Watson lessee Ask your cable modem service Static IP or DHCP and if DHCP, then what RFC? Then we need dmesg Who is your ISP? What is their contact page URL? Other info as we explore. There are too many technologies and too many system differences for one answer to fit. Civileme

Re: [expert] cable modem problems
Which cable modem provider do you have and in what part of the country? Do they require you to use DHCP or do they allow you to have a fixed IP address? Do you have more than one NIC? (If so which ethernet adapter is it assigned to?) What brand and model are your NIC(s)? Is it a one way or two way cable modem? Philip Watson wrote: I can't seem to get my cable modem to work.
