Re: [newbie] Shaw @home Cable Modem Setup
As a final sort of wrap up to this thread... I discovered the following concerning the setup of Shaw @home. After the install mandrake, if I monkeyed with the networking settings before I tried Sridhar's solution I could not get it working. On the other hand if I went directly to Sridar's solution after a clean mandrake installation it worked perfectly. I don't if this means anything to anyone but ths is what I had to do for me. Also, shaw told me of the the website that my domain was ssdt1.sk.wave.home.com. THIS WAS NOT TRUE! The actual domain is "host name".shawcable.net, or "host name".ss.shawcable.net. Basicaly I just want to bring this info forward incase anyone had similar problems in the future. Once again thanks! - Original Message - From:Sridhar Dhanapalan Sent:Monday, March 05, 2001 2:19 AM To:Shane Roppel; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: [newbie] Shaw @home Cable Modem Setup Open netconf - Host name and IP network devices - Adaptor 1.

So, I removed linux and reinstalled 98 got networking up did a 'ipconfig /all' to get all the ip's for dns, my ip, gateway, even dhcp server. It was here that I saw the name 'csXX-a.ss.shawcable.net'. So I went back and manualy configured everything, and still no luck. then using 'csXX-a.ss.shawcable.net' I tried again to get 'dhcpcd -d -n -h hostname eth0' to work. Finally I reset up my networking manually using 'csXX-a.ss.shawcable.net'. Nothing seems to work, and I know it is recognizing my ethernet card. I'm lost and kinda confused. I know my ethernet card is a 10/100... could it be trying to run it at 100 only? The kernal being used is 'eepro100'.

Re: [newbie] Smoother internet connection process?
I would add it to your cron, as Sridhar has suggested in the past. After I add the dhcpcd command to my cron to run on a regular basis (ie. every five min) it no longer presented me with a problem. I always have the network no matter how many times I reboot. A good way to add it to the cron, again as Sridhar has suggested, is with 'Kcron'. Just run it from a terminal in KDE. - Original Message - From:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent:Monday, March 05, 2001 7:55 PM To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:[newbie] Smoother internet connection process? Greetings. I have an @Home cable modem connection. In order to access the internet from Linux, I must go into terminal, su to root, and issue the "dhcpcd" command. How could I possibly bypass this?Thanks! Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
