hmmm. Can you post the exact error you get? also taking a look at dmesg and /var/log/messages for other pertinent info? Almost sounds like you could have a cabling problem. are there two NIC's in this box? usually onenic would be eth0, which is why i ask.
lastly, on my comcast setup, I can statically bind an address that was assigned via DHCP. in other words, if i just plug in the winders box to the cable modem, get the address from DHCP, unplug the windows box, i can manually ifconfig it to the linux box and it works. See if that works for you also, but I think you have cabling issues. Brad Crotchett wrote: > I have it set to dhcp on boot, but it just times out.
