I believe I have got my problems solved finally! Some cable people came out this morning to check everything. It turns out the line going into our house is bad. They now have a line going across our backyard over to the cable box thing behind our property. In a couple of weeks they will send someone over the bury the line. They also changed the three-way splitter we had with one they said was newer, better.
So basically, I had a few problems. One was the initial set up because every time I'd call them they would just say they don't support linux. Since I couldn't use their set up disk they had to activate my account from there. Then nothing still worked because of the problem with the line, which took a while to figure out. I still had a problem with the router set up this morning though too and had to call netgear. It needed to be reset - which I had done, but they had me hold the reset button down for 15 seconds then unpower and repower the router, then everything was ok!! This has been going on since Tuesday, and I'm exhausted from having to deal with it all. I think I'm really going to like faster internet service though! Thanks for all your help and advice! I really appreciate it that there are people like linux users or whoever on the internet that will help out others when they need it. I hope I can also help out someone too someday.
