[NTLUG:Discuss] Cable Modem Blues

[Jack Snodgrass]

That route stuff is ok.

I can't find any messages from you about cable modem problems.
What problems are you having?

What type of cable modem do you have? You might be able to
connect to your cable modem and look at it's logs if your
having cable modem problems. What modem do you have?

Subject: [NTLUG:Discuss] Cable Modem Blues


Hello again, I have been doing some serious digging into some of the log
files I am discovering to have and have some questions. This is in
reference to the last posts that I made about the cable modem problem I
am having. I am viewing this route command, and it does not look right to
me. My gateway is 65.10.20.1, my netmask is 255.255.255.0 should these
two be on the same line under eth0? I do not know where to go to change
this, so any pointers would be helpful. I also am looking for a log file
that will tell me what is happening when I lose my connection. I did a
ping -f www today, and lost the connection, but I dont know where to look
and see what is actually happening. Is there a log file that will give me
this information? Below you will find the rsults of a ping -f I did, when
it got about ¼ through it, I lost the connection, and I also included a
ifconfig to show what it is telling me. I will send some more log files,
but I want to keep the size of the e-mail down so that it goes through
the server. Thanks for any help!
