new cable modem - and problems

JK> You might try dhcpd or even a static address.

I'm starting to think that the problem is beyond the dhcp client.  I
tried connecting through dhcpd, but it kept saying that there was no
subnet specified...again, I don't know enough about this to know what
I should be specifying in the .conf file.

JK> Can you try another computer, that's running Windows?  If that fails

 Well, there is an iBook that no one is using at work...OSX too.
 Perhaps I'll try patching that into the modem to see if I can
 connect.

 Cheers,

 Matt
