I setup my cable modem in l-m with no problem. I am new to linux but found I only had to goto linuxconf on kde desktop (I'm sure there are more ways to skin that cat) and set: 1. basic host information- my hostname, ip address and netmask given to me by @home 2. dns- primary and secondary dns server supplied by @home 3. gateway- gateway ip given to me by @home Maybe I just got lucky and it all worked for me, but I have never had any problems (aside from getting my nic to work ;)) -Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: Luis Mercadillo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 30, 2000 2:40 PM Subject: [newbie] how can I set up cable modem connection in Linux Mandrake? > Please post details. > Thanks > Luis >
