Find out what brand modem they have and let me know,I'll get you the IP for
it if it uses one.Most dsl modems are in reality crippled routers and use
the IP of 192.168.1.254.But get me the specifics and I'll find out for you.


Comcast - is this still a 'modem'? Do they connect via ethernet?
The question was meant to be, is a 'cable modem' something that also connects to a computer via an ethernet card?

That should say _all_ DSL modems are in reality crippled routers. Sometimes
it's
ethernet, sometimes USB connection. I've seen both.

Could I instead of dhcp just try common IPs like this until one works?
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.254 then ping?
That first number should not be there.

I'm sure dhcp can handle the ifconfig for you, like Steven said. Ping is a
good test to see if it's working, though.

I don't know how to use dhcp and I do know how to type ifconfig etc.
