Re: [newbie] cable modem
The Roadrunner service that I am using (midsouth.rr.com) does not require me to log-in except to check e-mail. The way it works is it verifies me by the Mac address of the ethernet card that they supplied me. It is all done via DHCP. You don't need to run a proxy server which in Linux is IP masquerade unless you are trying to connect two or more PC's to the internet. Here is a link that will tell you more than you want to know about setting up a cable modem and firewalls and IP Masquerading, etc. It also has a section on Roadrunner setup for Linux.

You are interested in IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DHCP Enabled (yes or no), DNS Servers (at the top). Okay, now open your browser and look for proxy info, if you find any copy it down. (Netscape is under edit, preferences,advanced,proxies, Manual proxy configuration (on mine)) (In Internet Exploder I will not even try to suggest where it might be, they change location like I change my sox) Open your email client now and look for name of mail server (Something like mail.home.net) Open a command window again and ping the name they give, write the name and number down! example: ping mail reply from 192.168.0.50 ping news reply from 192.168.0.51 If your mail server is named mail and not mail.something.somethingelse then your provider has an ALIAS on his DNS server and you either must use his DNS numbers or manually put in the ip number for "mail" yourself. I suggest you use his DNS numbers because they may change the numbers for the alias "mail" and then your mail will stop working. Reasons they might have to change number? Server crash, load balancing, just because they can... Same kinda thing goes for news. Remember, if this alias exists it is not a real address. If you go to another machine and try to get your mail you will have to put the numbers in manually. Ok, now that you have all this info boot up linux and put all those settings into linuxconf. If DHCP Enabled said yes then use it in linuxconf, probably not a good idea to static your address if under Windoze it was dynamic. After close of linuxconf you should be able to ping your mail and news servers by name. If not, try by number. If you can ping by number but not by name then go back into linuxconf and fix the DNS entries. If you can't by number either then ping your "Default Gateway", Still no joy? Do ifconfig and check numbers for card. Open up netscape and input proxy server settings if any. If you are going to use Netscape for mail and news you can set up the servers now. If you want you can edit /etc/hosts to make your own alias to mail and news. 192.168.0.50mailmail.home.net 192.168.0.51newsnews.home.net Since Netscape will not let you remove the default of "news" you might as well use it for your news servers name.

Re: [newbie] Cable Modem Setup
I plan to just connect a 3com card and load its driver, then config the netmasks, which reminds me, I wonder how hooking up for cable-modem is diffrent than ppp such as putting in your dns and the sub-netmask and all, I think your cable modem company gives you all these don't they? Correct me on this but its just like putting in the dns numbers in your /etc/resolv.conf file isnt it?

Re: [[newbie] Cable Modem Setup]
I just set up my @home service (Oregon) on a new install of MD7.0.
I wanted to use the DHCP server as opposed to setting my networking info
statically. @Home is a bit odd, in that their DHCP server requires an
identifier from the client request in order to get a response.
1) backup /sbin/ifup (I used {fn.orig} for all files I'm about to tweak
2) find the line in /sbin/ifup which has
if /sbin/ifup $DEVICE -h $HOSTNAME...
and replace with
if /sbin/ifup $DEVICE -I "c583xxx-a" ...
with your "account id" from @home. Note that is a capital 'i'.
Save this file, restart your network (init 3), or reboot if
you don't know how to restart services, and you should be
all set.
Hope this helps.

"Aliases (opt)" should be blank fill in "IP Adress" and "Netmask" "Net Device" and "Kernel Module" should remain the same. Click the [Accept] button Now you're back at "Network Configurator" Select "Name Server Specification (DNS)" Fill in "IP of name server 1" & "IP of name server 2 (opt)" with your "DNS Search Order" At the top, make sure "DNS Is Required for Normal Operation" is pushed in.

If its a raid thing, you may not be able to turn it off without going to a re-install and not turning it on in the first place. Don't know if Mandrake defaults to a raid setup with the normal install. I always use the custom install. I feel the custom install gives me more control. Frank Kamp

Re: [newbie] Cable modem!
Hi David, for starters (i use the @home service personally) with a RealTek8029 chipset ne2000 PCI compatible.you need to setup your network as DHCP and the Server name must match what you would have had in windows as your computer name on the identification tabbut if you leave a list of what you have already done, perhaps i can help (by the way if your card is a ne200 compatible PCI card, the module you need to load is ne2k-pci) Tom Kwasnik > David wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm a pure newbie at this and would like to know if how could I > get my cable modem to work.

From: Ronald A. Yacketta Does your cable modem provider require DNS for DHCP communications? I had a similar problem with RoadRunner, once I got put the DNS info in /etc/resolv.conf DHCP worked. Just a thought.

Operation Failed" WHat program is giving this error message, what do you need to do, do you have s static IP address or do you need to get an dynamisch IP# from your provider. ?? If its a case of getting a dynamisch IP then use DHCP-2.0 obtanable at; ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/dhcp/ Its easy to compile and install once installed all one needs to do to get it to work is _normaly_ type dhclient eth0 There should be no need to configure and files, there is a file placed into /etc called dhclient-script which should work on a normal machine. You did not say ehat type of system you have but Redhat for example has a ew programs which will configure the interface for you and start dhcp at bootime so your eth0 gets its ip number. linuxconf is possably a likly candiadte for this issue used ina console or something like netcfg under X, you can even startX as root and use the control pannel to configure the whole interface as well. I did not have much information to go on fir a decent answer only "Determining IP information for eth0... Operation Failed" Its difficult to give exacht answers, i hope this helps. > I've tried everything I could find to set up the network, but nothing does > it.

Re: [newbie] Cable Modem
I have had similar problems. For a whole day, every time I booted, I got the Eth0 [FAILED] message. However, the next day, no problems at all. I have no idea what is going on, other than something weird with the Cable Company Server (I did call them, and they said that they had not changed anything). Good luck.
