[SunRescue] Setup Sun box with Cable modem ISP

[Ken Hansen]

With a proper router in the middle (like the Linksys, others),
you can have DHCP and/or static IP addressed machines on the
internal network.

My SPARCbook is on the internet with a static IP (192.168.1.32)
internally, but my ISP (Verizon DSL) uses PPoE (point to point
over ethernet) and dynamic IP assignment.

My SPARCbook is accessible over the internet at
_______.dyndns.org, as I made my SPARCbook my DMZ machine.

My other SPARC boxes use fixed IP adresses (like my Ultra, at
192.168.1.64).

Cable should be no different.

HTH,

Ken

It sounds to be me that you need to set up the Sun box to be a
DHCP client
on the interface connected to the cable modem. Which OS are you
running?
