Mandrake 9.1 cable modem woes
Ahoy,
I'm trying to set-up a cable modem connection on my girlfriend's Mandrake 9.1 box, and I'm getting nowhere slowly!
Her parents' windows box works fine, connected by USB, though I don't know any Windows commands to show me things like the IP address DHCP has assigned to assist me in diagnosing what on earth Mandrake is doing!
In Mandrake, I've used the wizard to set-up a cable connection, and to use DHCP, etc. etc. but it doesn't seem to do any good. ifconfig shows eth0 and eth0:9 up, with an IP address assigned to eth0:9, but traceroute can't find any host names.
How does one go about setting this up? It's just a direct connection between eth0 on the box into the back of the cable modem.
