routing/DNS

[Riga, Anthony]

I know mine is a Surfboard modem. It works pretty good but sometimes
when I am surfing i lose my connections intermittently. Sometimes it
freezes and I have to unplug and plug it back in or reboot my dlink
router. When I do that it works. I tried one time to call Adelphia and
it took me 45 minutes before I talked to someone becaue my acct was not
moved in proper setting I had no connection all day becasue of them.
Even when you are down because of them doing upgrades you still have to
pay. They are putting out so many of those modems that their hardware
cant keep up with it all. I wanted DSL but that costs even more. I think
that 42.00 is too high price but it beats 56k aol charges 25.00. I
wonder what types of servers they use? But the modem works great with a
router and Linux RedHat .. Now I need to get 7.2 and a bigger hard drive
and Im all set. I want to see what 7.2 is like . I am using 7.1..

I was told by one of the technicians that the "Teryon" modem is one fo
the
best ones for powerlink.  If you dont have one see if you can "BS" one
out
of them.  Also be sure that your connection to the modem is the right
cable
type -- Im not sure of the numbers (because I am at work right now) but
a
technician came out to my house and did a signal strength test and found
out
that running a new cable of the right type help speed things up.  ALSO
-- be
sure that your powerlink connection is off the MAIN split off of the
house.

Thats all that I knwo in powerlink and TRUST me -- My modem used to cut
out
every 20 min.  Took me about 2 months to get this stuff fixed!

I also have Adelphia cable and a Linksys router and I have a Private
Class C
Natted behind the router.  I never notice 24.48 inside the Linksys so I
cant
say anythign there, BUT I do ahve to unplug and plug in my Cable Modem
al
the
time ti kick it awake apparently (SHEESH I WISH Adelphia had competition
in
Buffalo!!!!)

I used the Mandrakeuser.org connectivity - Samba set up instructions -
fast
and
straightforward.
