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.

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.

rpm -q pump pump is Red Hat's DHCP client. If the above command shows output, then it is installed. Could you post the output of "/sbin/ifconfig -a"?

I'm assuming you've made a minor typing mistake in the first sentence of the previous paragraph (otherwise very confusing) I'm assuming also that you're saying that the internal card boots OK and the card hooked to the cable modem is failing: - be sure the driver module for the cable modem eth card is loaded (e.g 'insmod 3c90x' or whatever for your card ) - be sure the 'pump' package in installed > >Any ideas?
