adelphia cable on linux

[Robert Meyer]

There are a bunch of things to check.  First,
do a 'netstat -rn' and make sure that you have a default
route (destintation 0.0.0.0) that points to adelphia's
router (typicall 24.x.x.x).  If that's there, make sure
that you have the right things in /etc/resolv.conf.
You need to put a nameserver or two in there.
Adelphia usually gives you a couple to use in their
literature.  I would recommend finding others
to use since Adelphia's break a lot.

It should work after these two things are working.

Cheers!
