Hi, I am having trouble getting my cable-modem working and I am wondering if somebody out there knows the right way. Here is the info:
- works in win98 - looks like a subnet of a class A network (this could be my problem) - ip address is 24.1.106.xxx (xxx not shown) - netmask from provider is 255.255.240.0 - gateway is 24.1.104.1 - dns server is 24.1.64.zzz - domain set in resolv.conf I am really unsure about the network address I should use. >From the HOWTO's it looks like I should use 24.1.96.0 since the is the result of ANDing the ip address and netmask. I tried lots of things but none seem to work. Win98 only asks for ip address and netmask -- I guess it figures out the network address. I also don't know if I should try a broadcast address either. I can bring eth0 up with no errors and set the routing but I can't connect to anything. Any ideas? Am I doing something stupid? thanks very much, Stuart
