cable modem issue</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Ok, back on the cable modem issue :) Still have not resolved
the problem, but I found this going through my /var/log/messages file
tonight:<BR><BR>Aug 17 00:44:20 C1652034-d kernel: eth0: MII is
missing!<BR>Aug 17 00:44:20 C1652034-d kernel: eth0: found link beat<BR>Aug 17
00:44:20 C1652034-d kernel: eth0: autonegotiation complete: 100baseT-FD
selected<BR>Aug 17 00:44:23 C1652034-d xinetd: xinetd startup
succeeded<BR><BR>The card I am using is a 10/100 56K PCMCIA Linksys, but the
hub is only a 10 base hub. Does this mean that the card is currently running
at 100 base, and could this attribute to the problem of losing the connection
I am having? If so, how would I tell it to run at 10 base? Thanks again
everyone for the help.<BR>
