[Trisquel-users] no internet connection with cisco modem

[Igor . Zobin]

I am trying to setup an Internet connection with a Cisco EPC3208 modem. On  
the back of the modem it also says Euro DOCSIS 3.0 EMTA.

The ISP is not the usual kind, they provide the service through TV-cable. The  
modem supposedly needs no connection data like username and password. It is  
supposed to connect right out of the box, but it doesn't. On the CD that  
comes with the modem is a manual. There I found out that I have to "tell my  
provider the MAC address and serial number of the modem". I tried entering  
the MAC address provided into the Auto eth0 connection, but without luck.

Does anyone have some experience with this sort of thing?
