Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?

How do I configure Netscape to look to eth0, rather than the modem????

Thanks,

Sandy

/sbin/route -n

The last entry should be the "default route" and should look something
sorta like (some info missing here):

destination     gateway      netmask     interface
0.0.0.0         w.x.y.z      0.0.0.0     eth0

Your configuration most likely has ppp0 as the default interface.  If
so, you need to delete that entry from the routing table and make eth0
your default route.

When you get the network card working will you still need the modem at
all?  If not, I'd suggest disabling ppp altogether.  That will make
setup much easier.

Before you buy.

Here's a long-shot possibility:  is it possible your Netscape is
configured to use your dial-up ISP's web proxy?  If so, it's
possible/likely that the proxy is inaccessible from your cable ISP.
Change your proxy setting to "Direct Connection to the Internet".  (It's
in Edit|Preferences, Advanced|Proxies.)
