Hello, repollo of repollo

We don't know. It is extremely unlikely someone can advise you without knowing what modem you have there. I'd say even it is impossible. :(
Different modems require different handling. Some have PPPoE built in, some don't. Some have built-in routers and NAT. Some work over USB, some over ethernet. And so on.

my modem is a paradyne i dont know what model is because its a super number, erm... my connection is dhcp, i connect threw the cat5e ethernet cable...

Please do not post the same thread in more than one or the same forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
