Re: How about Roadrunner? Re: [newbie] Nic problem
MediaOne's Roadrunner service is what I have. Bryan Speaking of which, does anyone have roadrunner's cable modem service? If so do they or have they had any such of this kind of trouble? I am getting roadrunner's (Cox cable) service.
Re: How about Roadrunner? Re: [newbie] Nic problem
Cool so when they give you your netmasks and all that where all in linuxconfig's network setup thingy do you type where? I'm wondering if the ISP gives the DNS numbers the same name as what they are listed in the network configger, or if its similar to dialup or closer to like setting up a straight network thingy like a lan connection to the internet? Sorry this is the first time I have ever configged this kind of connection and I want to get it done correctly the first time so i won't be cut off after switching ISP's. Thankx On Wed, 16 Feb 2000, Wendell E. Gragg mewed: Roadrunner El Paso worked the first time for me. I did have to make sure and use the machine name they assigned to me, though. - Original Message - From: "Vic" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2000 7:41 PM Subject: How about Roadrunner?

I have MediaOne's One-Way RoadRunner. Uses a 56k modem and a General Instruments SB1000 Surf Board. Can't use it in linux yet though. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2000 6:39 AM Subject: Re: How about Roadrunner?

Re: How about Roadrunner? Re: [newbie] Nic problem
When I installed Mandrake, I just set up the nic for dhcp and did not have to worry about the DNS. Apparently, that is done dynamically by RR. Oh, I did have to set the gateway. I got that from winipcfg in windows. Now the question is whether or not RR in your area is set up the same way. Also, if they require a log in, then you will have to locate some scripts to do this. RR here stopped using the login just before I installed Linux. Hope this helps, Wendell - Original Message - From: "Vic" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2000 4:31 PM Subject: Re: How about Roadrunner?

RE: [newbie] Nic problem
I have heard on here that you need to manually enter in your IP address, and DHCP information, and all of the other information. I don't think Linux detects IPs very well. When I had it try to detect my networking, it gave me some eroneous number that wasn't even anywhere near correct. At least that's what I have heard so far. I can't get my internet provider to work either. I did however read a few pretty good articles on this site: http://www.cablemodeminfo.com/linbasics.x.html-ssi This site has sections such as the following: @Home,Linux and SMC Network @Home Linux How-To It has too many articles for me to list here however. Just go by this site, it has tons of information on setting up linux on your box. I would also highly recommend printing the document out after you find the document that matches your situation.

Re: [newbie] Nic problem
Ron, I also have MediaOne. Here is my setup. Adaptor 1 - eth0 is connected to the cable modem Adaptor 2 - eth1 is connected to a hub that other PC's in my house are connected to Try this... From the command prompt as root: linuxconf Choose: 1. Networking 2. Basic host Information Host name : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( mine is kb01ln.kband.net as I am running my own domain) Under Adaptor 1, Make sure the Enabled box has an "X" in it Config mode ( ) Manual (o) Dhcp ( ) Bootp Primary name + domain = blank Aliases = blank IP address = blank Netmask = blank Net device eth0 Kernel module "mine is eepro100" not sure what you should have Under Adaptor 2, Make sure the Enabled box has an "X" in it Config mode (o) Manual ( )Dhcp ( )Bootp Primary name + domain = kb01ln.kband.net Aliases = kb01ln IP address 192.168.1.1 Netmask = blank Net device eth1 Kernel module "mine is eepro100" not sure what you should have If you have already have both cards configured and you know they both work, try switching the card slots. I know this sounds weird, but I had to do that when I first set mine up. Something about the IRQ.
