Anyone set up Dachstein for a Motorola Surfboard 4100 cable modem
through Charter Communications (or other MSO)?
It has an ethernet iface. I am assuming I will just use DHCP to get an
IP, and go from there. I would be interested in any experiences that
you have had with this modem.
TIA,
R.
Hi Dr. Tibbs!
I have the same modem and I use the Dachstein CD, and it works
flawlessly. I use an old AMDk6 200Mhz. Box, and boot from the CD. I
just ran my CAT5 from the modem to the box, box to a hub, plugged my
computers on the LAN into the hub...and away I went. You'll like it!
Cheers,
Craig
Thanks, that is good news. Now to de-volve my Dachstein/floppy from
pppoe over DSL to straight ethernet... maniacal cackle.

The only trick with the cable modems is that
they remember the MAC address of the last nic
connected to them. If you plug a different nic in, they
don't connect. UNLESS you unplug the cable modem for a
few min. so it will forget the MAC address. Then
everything goes fine.
Thanks, that is
