If that is the case... then the cable modem should have an address on the LAN side of it.. something like 192.168.100.1 which should be accessable via web browser. That is how the surfboard cable modems are managed. Once other thing is that the cable modem will fail to connect from Netscape as the submit tag of the button does not respond correctly. Mozilla is a better bet or if he has more then one box on the network such as a windows box then try from ie on that box to connect.
The last of the irritating factors of using such device that I have found is that when trying to verify connectivity from behind the cable modem, forget using ping or any ping related utility such as traceroute; the cable modem will only pass response pings to the first address such as 192.168.100.2 if cable modem is 192.168.100.1. This is how I currently have mine set up and it is working fine for me..

Furthermore, much for his dismay, bi-directional "cable" (actually radio) does not work due to visibility issues. Therefore, he is stuck with uni-directional downstream.
