There isn't much to do depending on your modem. I'm using a Com21 cable modem which connects to an ethernet card. So you just install an ethernet card and tell it its IP address and route. That's about all there is to it. The next step will of course be natd, but that's independent of the cable modem. Roelof -- Home is where the (@) http://eboa.com/ is.
