<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm having way to much fun. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>RCA Comcast modem: works fine. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can ping myself, and I can ping other ethernet
addresses on the comcast network. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ifconfig -a shows eth0 is up, it has an assigned IP
address from comcast. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mozilla will not get to the internet. I set up the
security using "medium" security as default. I have some experience with cable
modem in Boulder, CO, where I had to force feed the network with pump -i eth0 -h
hostname (the hostname assigned by @home). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm failing miserably at this point. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ifup eth0 gives errors</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Determining IP information for eth0...iptables: No
chain/target/match by that name done.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>iptables: Bad rule (does a matching rule exist in
that chain?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>iptables: Table does not exist (do you need to
insmod?)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>NOTE: The system I built is for my parents. I'm
attempting to turn them into a home linux users. They are upgrading from webtv
to a Linux home system. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Because the system resides at my parents, and I'm
running out of time on this visit, I may not be able to immediately anything for
a couple of weeks (upon my next return trip). However, I'm bound and determined
to keep them off windows. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help, or anyone with experiencing RedHat 9
kernel 2.4.20-6 and comcast would be greatly appreciated. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another note: Comcast was not much help with
providing dns/gateway/ip address information for configuring the system. The
install guy didn't have any of that information so I had to connect with a
windows laptop to run winipcf to get some information. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in anticipation, </FONT></DIV>
