Just wondering if any of you have had issues/problems/war stories setting up a linux box to work w/ comcast.

Prior to switching to DSL I had it working fine.


my roommate hung around this morning
to be there when they hooked it up, and when he called up they flat out refused to support linux and told him, 'if you cant run our windows program than you cant use our network'.

This is correct. They provide you access based on your MAC address after you have authenticated. Two options:


1) Install their software using Crossover Office. Ran that way fine for me. Might work under Wine alone, but I have not tried.

Throw the NIC in a Windows box, register, and move the NIC to your Linux system.

HTH,
