Yeah, lets start with wired or wireless. I assume because it's comcast it's wired?

What distribution have you installed?
What's the modem like - does it dial and connect on its own or does the computer have to supply it with user/password and tell it to dial out? |
It' comcast high speed cable...it doesn't dial out. It's connected either by ethernet or usb.

Hi,
What distribution and release? What have you attempted? Any errors, if so then post them. |
Well, the cable modem still needs to connect to the equipment at the other end. How is this done? Does the computer need to supply user/password via PPPoE or does is the modem already configured and automatically connects?
We also need to know what distribution you're using because each one sets up the network in a slightly different way. |
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the desktop to the Comcast Cable Modem.
2 Power cycle the Cable modem or use the Reset button in the little hole in the back. 3 Power cycle the Desktop 4 Ctrl Alt F1 to go to the command line (Use Ctrl Alt F7 to get back) 5 At the $ prompt, type: Code:
$ ifup eth0 If you have an IP address as above then ping the default gateway (Use ctrl C to break out) If the default gateway responds, ping Comcast.net and see if you get a response Code:
ping 192.168.1.1 --- or whatever your default gateway is |
