[SunRescue] Setup Sun box with Cable modem ISP

[rescue at sunhelp.org]

Thank you for your feedback:

When I had dsl connection, there was a router between the lan and dsl modem.  Under DSL setup, we had static IP address vs. dynamic ip address used in cable modem.

Under current setup, the cable modem is in place of dsl with router connected to it.  The router ip address on the lan side is set for 192.168.0.1.  The sun machine is setup with lan ip address of 192.168.0.4 and default router is 192.168.0.1.  

Within the LAN side, i have no problem of pinging the sun machine, and from sun machine to others within the lan.  In addition, I had configured netscape enterprise servers and able to access programs served by nes from  within the lan.

The issue I have right now is that there is no internet connection from the sun machine; whereas other machine connected to the router can.  I guess the machine has to be setup to acquire the dynamic ip address from cable modem.

Your advise greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Paul
