Most of Mediaone/RoadRunner tracks you're MAC (ethernet) address,

and won't allow any other MAC address to use the CableModem.

<para>

To get around this you could either call Mediaone and ask them to change
|
||||||
|
you're MAC address to you're current one. They do allow you to have
|
||||||
|
multiple allowed MAC addresses, but they might not allow more than two.
|
||||||
|
Other approach is to tell your ethernet card what MAC address to use. Most
|
||||||
|
cards will allow it. So first make sure you write down the MAC address of the
|
||||||
|
card you used when Mediaone technicians showed up and they type something like

TVD gives you an IP via DHCP and when it is activated they log the
|
||||||
|
MAC-Address. So if you want to connect to the internet via another
|
||||||
|
computer with another ethernetcard it won't work. You have to change your
|
||||||
|
MAC-Address to the 1 that can connect.

|

If you encounter similar problems, you may want call the hotline (0848
|
||||||
|
852 800). Hold the MAC number of your modem ready if you call, you
|
||||||
|
can find it at the bottom of the modem. If you are only using linux,
|
||||||
|
it might prove difficult to convince the hotline people you did things
|

|
right. It was difficult with windows already. Be sure you get a
|

|
number for your problem (Bearbeitungsnummer).

Rock Hill Telephone (RHTC) and Fort Mill Telephone (FMTC) offer hybid
|
||||||
|
cable modem access through a partnership with the Info Avenue ISP. The
|
||||||
|
cable modem is built by Hybrid, and offers high bandwidth downstream
|
||||||
|
over the cable line (I've seen 900+ kpbs), and upstream over the builtin
|
||||||
|
modem (around 33.6 kbps). The cable modem connects to an ethernet
|
||||||
|
10baseT card and a regular phone line. The cable modem acts as a router
|
||||||
|
from your machine to the internet.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
RHTC and FMTC 's tech support is performed by Info Avenue, and they
|
||||||
|
offer no support for Linux whatsover. They were unable to provide any
|
||||||
|
help or documentation regarding Linux and cable modems. Luckily, I was
|
||||||
|
aware through my initial Win NT setup (as I looked over the tech's
|
||||||
|
shoulder) that DHCP
|
||||||
|
was used to assign IP addresses and
|
||||||
|
DNS information. What I had to learn the hard way was that the cable
|
||||||
|
modem apparently relies on the MAC address of the NIC that it is
|
||||||
|
originally installed on. In otherwords, when I went to move the cable
|
||||||
|
modem from my NT machine (which was using a proxy server and a second
|
||||||
|
NIC to share internet access) to my new Linux firewall, I had to move
|
||||||
|
the NIC into the new Linux computer. Without the same NIC, the network
|
||||||
|
link light on the back of the cable modem will never come on, and the
|
||||||
|
modem will not communicate with your computer at all. I assume if you
|
||||||
|
bought a new computer with a new NIC, you could call RHTC or FMTC and
|
||||||
|
ask them to update your MAC, however, they would probably not know what
|
||||||
|
you were talking about, and want to send a technician. When the
|
||||||
|
technician gets there, expect "we do not support Linux" to be the first
|
||||||
|
words out of his mouth.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
Anyway, after installing the original NIC (which probably won't be a
|
||||||
|
problem for most of you, because you only have 1 NIC in your computer -
|
||||||
|
which the tech setup under Windows), all I had to do was configure
|
||||||
|
DHCP. Considering my NIC was already working under Linux, my Mandrake
|
||||||
|
Linux distribution made this especially easy. I just type 'netconf',
|
||||||
|
then choose 'Basic Host Information', then enable DHCP for the NIC in
|
||||||
|
question (in my case 'Adapter 1'). The program should restart the
|
||||||
|
device for you, if not, you may need to reboot, or manually restart the
|
||||||
|
device with ifconfig.
