Modem: US Robotics
Connected: USB
More Info: Dynamic IP, don't need any username or password to access.

I have a Cable Modem US Robotics that is perfectly recognized By Suse, but when i use yast to configure it, i have a problem....In yast network options appears Modem, no doubt....but to configure dial Modems and not Cable modems...so Suse assume that my us robotics is a dial modem, and ask me for username, password, tone or pulse.....


What can i do to put my Cable Modem to work???


Many thanks for your help and time.

Did you try looking for it inside the USB section, instead of modem?

1st, Thanks for your reply.

Yes, in the hardware info, it's on the usb devices, but how can i configure it to access the internet??
Because as i have said in my 1st post, Suse identifies him on the network options (the place to configure the access) as a modem, a dial one.

There is another way to configure it?

Well, I'm not sure...
Go to yast2 network setup and take a look around. There are dhcp clients, but I suppose they're for eth devices. If you find anything useful, try to ask the device to grab IP with dhcp client.

I will try that, but you are right, the dhcp clients are configured to ethernet cards...tough in the modem area there isn't that possibility, unfortanely.

I will see if i can put my modem with dhcp access.

i got the same problem here running suse 9.1 . i gotta NTL:home (ambit) cable modem and i'm also running USB. Heres something astonishing:
Run the live disk (if you have one)
YES IT WORKS!! WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF CONFIG'ING
however i too have had no success finding a solution for the fully installed suse linux.
keep up the good fight and let me know if you find a solution i'm lookin too.

[SOME OF YOU FAIL TO REALISE THAT FOR VARIOUS REASONS WE CANT USE ETHERNET TO CONNECT TO OUR CABLE MODEMS - THE SEARCH FOR A PROPER CABLE MODEM USB SOLUTION GOES ON.....]
