But I need some clarification. Plugging in you computer to the internet port of the cable modem should just work. The Windows configuration stuff that comes from the cable company is for configuring the cable modem to talk to cable company's server. When I was in this position (with my dsl company, and I believe my cable modem colleagues did the same) I called the internet suppler and told them to help me configure the modem by hand. They can do that. At least they did for me. I hope things quiet down soon. -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
