Thanks for the reply ,this is great i am starting to love this Linux.
Yes i am aware of the Mac address And I am on my 2nd NIC that has
realtk 8139, so it is Linux compatable.But it works fine in windows so i
thought the Mac should not matter ?
Linux recognizes the NIC, And I have DHCP up and installed ,during
bootup of linux all the network checks "Passed" .And i even saw activity
on the cable modem. but no response.Then something about $SOCKS_NS.
But now i am about to boot back to linux and make more checks!
