Hi Diane
I just installed Suse 7.1 and I can't get my cable modem to work with it. It is recognizing the >Ethernet card and dhcp is loading correctly at start up but for some unknown reason I am not able to communicate with my provider. I am in the US using the @home service. If anyone has any >ideas they would be greatly appreciated. Diane
Have you used a different PC on your cable modem in the past? with my cable service in the UK the Cable Modem (3COM) remembered the MAC address of the first PC I attached to it, thereafter it refused to talk to another ethernet card, without overiding that cards MAC address. I made a not of the MAC address of the first PC I attached and now I use a Linksys router which you can program the MAC addresss. You should be able to overide the MAC address in Linux, there should be far more experienced users on this list who can advise. David Bottrill
