Again.. thanks in advance. > > -- John/crys Steps I took for drakconnect for my comcast cable modem: 1: Drakconnect wizard: Use Auto Detection checked, Expert mode checked. click Next 2: select "Cable Connection" click Next 3: Which dhcp client do you want to use? select dhcp-client click next 4: Brings up which device was detected. it had my card so i chose "no" and click next. 5: if it asks which you want to configure choose eth0 click next 6: check Automatic IP. Uncheck "assign hostname from dhcp address" Check "Start at boot" 7: click next 8: hostname: whatever you call your computer 9: DNS server (put in IP of your dns server. mine on comcast is 216.148.227.68 you may get that one to work) Gateway device = eth0 leave zeroconf name and gateway address blank. Click next 10: if you use a proxy fill in and click next 11: do you want to apply settings? yes. Click Next 12: Network needs to be restarted. Yes. Click Next 13: click finish.
