<DIV><SPAN class=617081418-16082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I'm
sitting at my friend's house, using his wireless through comcast. He says
that the Toshiba cable modem isn't working because a new patch MS sent out for
windows is causing problems with it. My friend bought a Linksys cable
modem, so he's having no problems, but it sounds like those with the Toshiba
modem can't get on. Go to microsoft.com/technet/default.asp he
says.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

it be the worm going around, is knocking comcast offline in some areas, or
what? I'd say call support.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<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.

<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>
