Re: Modem troubles
Richard - I was on a Toshiba today, Monday, doing a fresh install and could get the modem to connect, given that I could see it and many others. Does anyone have ideas about what I could attempt to get it to connect? Are you referring to a traditional analog modem or a 3G USB dongle? You can certainly use minicom to test both.

Traditional modem, I believe it was / is a cable modem. Cable modems are accessed via the Etnernet port. Does the cable modem connect to the cable company?

Harish -- It was a friends computer, he was very ready to switch from MS Windows 8.1 to Linux; I went over, we installed it, and couldn't get up on his Ethernet, given that the computer could see it. I wanted to sign him up in this forum after getting up; I went to fedoraproject.org just now - 9 hours later - and realise that I've forgotten how to sign up after so long.

It was a friends computer, he was very ready to switch from MS Windows 8.1 to Linux; I went over, we installed it, and couldn't get up on his Ethernet, given that the computer could see it. if you could access the machine again, could you check if the ethernet port is lighted up when it is plugged into the cable modem (also powered up) and connected to the cable network provider.
