Re: cable modem
Hi all

Have set up one, too, just not Road Runner. First had some
incompatibility problem with "dhclient", so I ended up using "dhcpcd".

Is it really up? A "ps x|grep dhcpcd" will do for that.

Looks like your card has been identified, but has simply not been given
any IP yet.
In that case try "killall dhcpcd; dhcpcd eth0".
Whilst doing that, I suggest you "tail -f /var/log/messages" on a
different terminal. That should be fairly informative.

Dunno whether that's a problem...? Doesn't sound like it, anyway.
Tell me if this helped...
