Hi,

I am wondering if the cable modem, like power link or roadrunner, can
support linux?  It seems they only support windows/95/98/NT... Am I
correct?

thanks!
Pete

It may depend on your cable supplier, but most people seem to
find it runs with no problems.   Under RedHat 6.1 and the
generic kernel, you need the proper alias statement in
/etc/conf.modules for your ethernet card and you need to
set up your eth0 interface properly with netcfg (obtainable
for example from linuxconf or control-panel).

1. Cable modem..56 modem dial up, 500K cable modem download stream...

I have 2 network cards and 1 modem in a Linux Box with RH6.
My cable modem uses the modem to start a PPP session, and the network card
is then hooked up to the VPN of the ISP.

I would like to setup a IP Masquraded Firewall to hook some of my other
boxes
behind the firewall.

I  cannot find a HOW-TO to setup the Linux box using this type of Cable
Modem.  I
have only found 2 way cable modems.  Can someone point me it the right
direction.

My problem is that I don't know how to get Linux connected, then also, how
do I configure
ipchains or ipfwadm to use the correct rule set.  Do I do the modem or the
network card.  The
network card has a static IP of 10.0.0.1 which is usally used for VPNs.  My
cable company
is of corse not supporting Linux, so I have to do it myself.  The PPP dialup
uses DHCP to
assign my address so I have dhcp setup.

Thanks in advance..

Aaron
