[CS-FSLUG] Cable modem and hub setup in Suse 9

[N. Thompson]

When we had Roadrunner as our ISP they used cable modems, all we had to 
do was set up the network cards to use DHCP like you did, the only time 
I was unable to load some sites was when I was using a poorly supported 
3Com network card which was on my new computer and by then we were using 
a different IS which used DSL. I have to give SUSE credit since it was 
the only distribution around at the time that supported the 3Com card 
however I was unable to load some sites like Google, I later found out 
that the driver was either another that was modified to support the card 
or support for the card was just a hack that didn't work that well 
because it would drop packets. If your problem is anything like mine I 
would recommend trying a different network card if you have one lying 
around unless of course you already know that card works well.

Good luck :-)
