ITs NOT the irq.. U have to call your cable modem
connection company and talk to them. They can give u
the settings you need. If this is @home, you have to
convice them to send you to senior tech support.
Also you dont need dns stuff for setting up your cable
modem. All you need is hostname.. (ur computer name)
an ip, and subnet mask.. talk to the cable company to
get this.
