RE: [newbie] LAN and COX cable modem
It is a very easy setup. I live in Phoenix and currently have four machines on three different platforms running on it using a router I picked up and a hub for about $150.00 if I remember right. Cox told me to run a firewall and I said that was no problem since I run linux. take care, eric l. mcclure On Thu, 16 May 2002, Myers, Dennis R NWO wrote: > > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ken Brown > Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 1:56 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [newbie] LAN and COX cable modem > > > Cox supplied a software package fot connecting a Surfer Or Toshiba Cable > Modem here in Tucson.

TIA I have cox-internet ( which is high speed cable ) very easy in LM 8.0, 8.1, 8.2! do you have one or two network interface cards? Only one is needed if you only have one pc at home , if you connect to any other pc, you will need two 1.) for the cable modem 2nd) for network. in setting up the network card follow this: open up control center, next open network/internet, choose connection for a one only setup use the configure button and let the auto detectand configure do it's thing. only choose to use dhcp to connect, when it's through, apply and exit control center. reboot is a good idea then it all should work. if you want to share the connection with another pc in the house or office, write back , it will take a bit more time to explain.

Re: [newbie] LAN and COX cable modem
Hi I have a LAN set up. I use a netgear hub and reguler cables with RJ45 connectors. I think the hardest thing I found was getting up to speed on firewalling and once I understood the basics of proxy and TCP/IP I was away. I have a Sun Solaris box and that was a right pain as for some reason it put the wrong details in /etc/hosts and I had to change the permissions and get some vi action going on it and about 5 other files! HTH John BTW what is the advantage of Coax then?
