Alrighty...now I'm getting somewhere...I know the problem...dumb me for
ignoring the startup warnings but during startup it says:
Failed to initialize eth0 - DHCPCD
Well, I tried the default for I guess protocol(?) First of all I'm not really
sure what DHCPCD is but I think the default is (DHCP)
For your cablemodem do you have a static IP (that you know of) this
would not include an actual non routable IP (most internal network ip's for
things such as this will begin with 10.10.something) if you have a 10.10
IP your ISP *might* be using DHCP first we'll work out the type
