A little more info would help. Do you get a static IP address from the
cable service, or do they assign you a dynamic one? Also, are you setting
up a default route pointing to the cable modem? You may have to run the
dhcpcd daemon to get your IP address if it is a dynamic one. (I do not
think 192.168.1.1 is the correct IP to assign to eth0 if it only talks to
the cable modem...)
