I finally had to buy a router, and put that between the cable modem and my PC. I was then able to set my PC up as a static IP, which worked like a charm. Actually, it also worked using dhcp...but for me, no router = no cable modem access. I've never been able to figure out why. -- peace, Rog 010100100111011011100110011101100101011100100111001100100110011001110110111001110011001001100100011100100110011001101110011001101110001001110100011011100101011010010111001000100111001101101110011001010111001100110010001110110010110100101001 56469198 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I'm a complete neophyte so take this with a grain of salt but I configured eth0 as a lan connection and could not connect to the Internet unless the host name was left blank. - Richard L.
