I don't know what your provider is like, but mine would only install on a Windows or Mac machine, which I fortunately happened to have lying around. (Don't worry, it's running woody now. :-) The machine I wanted to use as a gateway was a different machine, though, with a different Ethernet card, and the cable modem would only give out addresses if the MAC address of the Ethernet card connected to it matched the address the cable company thought it should have. Solution? Call the provider and ask them to change the MAC address on your cable modem. It's the "HWaddr" number (six octets) that gets printed out of ifconfig. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
