Hello Alan,
probably what the technical support meant was that the ISP did not offer =
support for Linux, not that the modem is not supported by Linux... =
Setting Linux to DHCP should work fine and without problems. Even for =
those experimenting PPP on ADSL which is far cooler (and simpler) than =
PPTP, should set it to DHCP.

I think that is a slight problem. Since you use a cable modem I assume =
you're with OnVol and the make is Toshiba Pcx2000 or Pcx2500. I had the =
same problem, Toshiba modems are not supported in linux and there are no =
drivers for them. I contacted Toshiba and told me that they do not offer =
support on their modems for Unix or Linux. However they also told me =
that it can work however through other means, which where too technical =
for me to understand since I am also a newbie in Linux!=20
=20
Good Luck!=20
=20
And if it works plz drop a line ;)

we all know.
=20
i have installed RH8 on my pc at home on a partition of its own. =
hope i will find help from you guys. my aim is to switch to linux =
completely at home and perform better at work.
=20
my first question:
=20
i have cable internet at home. on booting up linux the system gets =
stuck on the "Bringing up interface eth0". The only way to go past it is =
to switch the cable modem off. I dont go much further though. from the =
system settings > network configuration i try to activate the device, =
after switching on the modem, but i am stuck there.
=20
any help is very much appreciated
