Re: [Wlug] Any complaints about Charter cable modems?

by Rob

Hi, I've had Charter for almost a year and have had no problems. Except my modem going last month.. that was the first real big problem. Like any ISP.. they have had a few outages here in Auburn, but they didn't last more than 2 hours. I had no problems getting my Linux (Mandrake)system working with it.

Problem with network card

by Simoncini, Matthew

Hi guys, This message is not actually a Linux based question, but is still "nix". I have recently installed Solaris 8 (for Intel) on a PC at work and am having problems connecting to the network. I think that the problem is related to the speed that the NIC is trying to use when connected to the LAN. I suspect this because the little green speed indicator for 100mb is illuminated (on the NIC) when the workstation is connected to the network jack. Here are some supporting details that I hope someone might find useful: Hardware: HP Vectra Vli8DT (733mhz) Solaris 8 for Intel 3com Etherlink XL PCI NIC ifconfig -a elxl0 flags=100843<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2 inet 172.17.24.76 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.17.24.255 ether 0:1:3:68:1b:f3 netstat -rn Routing Table: Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface -------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ------ --------- 172.17.24.0 172.17.24.76 U 1 2 elxl0 224.0.0.0 172.17.24.76 U 1 0 elxl0 default 172.17.24.3 UG 1 0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 29 1897 lo0 If anyone can help or has similar experience, please give me a shout. I think I remember reading somewhere about a device driver file that can be changed to force the speed of the NIC. Anyone else ?? Thanks. Matthew

Re: [Wlug] Setting up cable modem (Charter)

by Michael Long

I also have a charter cable modem with a linksys router. However I set the router up to deliver dhcp addresses to roaming computers ie, my wife's laptop from work and the rest of my computers have static IPs. It saved me the hassle of setting up a dhcp server. For email I use KDE Mail and set it up to grab the mail directly from my isp's on demand.

Re: [Wlug] Setting up cable modem (Charter)

I have a charter cable modem, but I took the easy way out. I have a linksys firewall/router. I have static IPs behind the router. I have a single port (ssh) open, so I can connect while at work (like right now). I have two boxes running at home -- my linux box and a Win98 box. I have the linux box to myself, and my wife & 3 kids beat on the Win98 box. (Sometimes Win98 stays up for days at a time. :-) ) I have my email configured to use fetchmail to suck email directly from my charter email drop, and I read/compose it locally with pine. I'm slowly (oh so slowly) playing with DNS to supply services at home. Bill

Tom, I'd suggest you use LRP to setup a firewall on your home network. I've got Charter Cable modem and in it works great. I'm a bit swamped with work right now, but come talk to me later on via email and I'll see what I can do. Also, please turn off HTML in your email, it's a pain to read and deal with. Thanks, John

I am new to the Mass. area, but I use to be a Sr. Network Admin with Charter Communications. The question that I have is are you using Charter@home or Charter Pipeline? If it is Charter@home then you have to make some different changes in your setup. You have to add some domain information. It took a while to finally Linux DHCP to with with Charter@home but we were able to figure it out. If it is Charter Pipeline I will be willing to find you some contact information with one othe the Sr. Network Admins that I know. Tom > rpm -q pump > > pump is Red Hat's DHCP client.
