[GLLUG] Linux

I also used a windows box during my comcast registration and switched over
to using a different box loaded with IPCop afterwards so I don't think they
register the MAC address anymore.  You could also set up the proxy server
they gave you and try to go the webpage at sas.r5.attbi.com with mozilla or
the like since this is the website all the registration info goes thru.
Just something to try before setting up a seperate windows box you may not
have.

Hello

Can anybody tell me how to connect to the internet from Linux (using
Comcast broadband connection thru cable), please .
I'm connected thru the cable modem. I can ping the proxy server and the
DNS serevrs.

The address of the proxy server was provided to me by a Comcast tech
but he can't help further as Comcast does not support Linux.

I got the DNS server addresses after I ran dhclient.

I configured my browser (Mozilla and Opera) to use the proxy address.
But when I try to visit some page it just says something like 'SAS
server restricted page'.

Appreciate any help. Regards
