Pro 7.3 (stock) Need a little help with getting cable modem to connect to the Net. Have Road Runner Modem feeding into a 4 port hub then 2 Windows Machines and 1 SuSE 7.3 box. Naturally the 2 Win machines were set up and running within 6 minutes but I've been 72 hours on the 7.3 machine with no luck. I did have a 4 machine LAN started prior to scraping it and trying for the high speed Cable. I followed the instructions on page 87 of the 7.3 "Network" book and page 68 of the "Configuration" book. The ISP supplies a dynamic address thus I used DHCP and I did purchase 3 IP addresses. Here is output of ifconfig; saffron:~ # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:3D:AB:C9 inet6 addr: fe80::2a0:ccff:fe3d:abc9/10 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:44 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:2640 (2.5 Kb) TX bytes:3238 (3.1 Kb) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xe000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:556 (556.0 b) TX bytes:556 (556.0 b) saffron:~ # I just don't understand the concept of the cable modem. Do I need to start some program in order to make it connect? I did run "rcdhclient start" and it reported "done" but ping to the outside world would not work. Please let me know what else I need to provide but don't tell me to RTFM . . . I've spent hours. Frustrated and about to settle for 3 win machines, Ed.
