I have tried many ways to configure for a connection to my Comcast Broadband service to no avail.
ipconfig keeps giving me this: dummy0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet addr:192.168.1.10 bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets689 errors:0 dropped:O overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytesL13839 (59.8 KiB)

This means nothing to me. Any help?

Is the first NIC a fake (and therefore called dummy)? Both dummy0 and sl0 have addresses in a local network (192.168.0.x). Your NIC that connects to your cable modem needs to use DHCP. Are you using straight Debian, or a Debian based system (like Mepis, Ubuntu, Knoppix, Kanotix, etc.)? Some have a config manager that makes it easy to set a NIC to DHCP. Unless the NIC on the Internet side can get its address from Comcast, it won't be able to connect to the Internet.
Also, do you have your nameservers set for the Comcast DNS?

and Linux. In the distro install setup I messed up and cannot get back into it, can I
do that with console?
