Ray, You will need to register the mac address of the BN's ethernet card
with your cable company to get this to work most likely. In general cable
modems have filtering mechanisms which will only allow packets from the mac
address it knows about to pass through the device. This brings up a
question: Besides looking at the label on the card containing the mac
address how does one go about obtaining the mac address of the ethernet
card which is inserted into the BN?

Hello:
I need some help configuring the braillenote low power ethernet card to work
with a cable modem. I just bought the card and am going to the ACB
Convention so wanted to test out the card to see how it works before
traveling to Birmingham, Alabama. That way I can check my e-mail remotely
from convention.
I first tried inserting the network card into my flash card slot with the
wire from my cable modem plugged into the card. After a few minutes I get a
Windows CE DHCP error that it can't find an IP Address. My braillenote
hangs and I have to reset it. I checked the setup for my cable internet
connection on the PC and it says an IP address is obtained automatically as
well as a DNS address.
Has anyone successfully configured the network card to work with a cable
modem? If so, can you tell me what steps I need to take to do it? I sent
an e-mail message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] which I found in one of my
readme files because I was told I would receive technical instructions to
set up the network card to work with a cable modem.
Thanks in advance for any help.
