I using motorola SB5101 cable modem, connected via NVidia NForce ethernet card
Manually (static) IP:
IP address: 202.169.231.103
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 202.169.231.1
DNS1: 202.169.224.3
DNS2: 202.169.224.4
Konqueror always stuck, even modem web interface (192.168.100.1) wont read.
Thanks for help, I really appreciate it
If your network interface is not "up" and running, you will not be able to load even local web pages from your cable modem.
And if your network settings are incorrect, you will not be able to load even local web pages because network traffic to your cable modem's internal web page will be sent to your internet gateway instead of to your local subnetwork.
Open a terminal window and type:
sudo su
ifconfig -a
This should tell you if your network interface is UP and ACTIVE, and it will tell you the in-use IP ADDRESS and other information.
If your interface is not up, try running the "netcardconfig" utility and enter your network settings.
If "netcardconfig" cannot find your network card (usually referred to as ETH0), then you do not have the correct network card driver loaded for your computer.
Finally, if you are not using an ETHERNET port and an ETHERNET cable to connect your router, you are then using a USB port and USB cable as an alternative. In this case, you must manually load the USB cable modem network driver.
Open a terminal window and type EXACTLY, including UPPER and lower case letters:
sudo su
modprobe CDCEther
and then run "netcardconfig" again.
Good luck.
