I was recently asked a question about one way cable modems. Some cable modem installations use the cable modem to download, and dialup to upload because the broadband cable tv hardware does not have two way capability. My question is more on what techniques are they using? Do they actually use PPP for the dialup to establish a connection and assign an ip address for the cable modem. Or, do they assign a static IP for the cable modem. The person who asked me is in the midwest, and uses Mediaone. I would assume that the routing table would be set up with ppp as the interface for the network and default gateway, but with eth0 set up simply as an interface, so all outgoing traffic would be routed to the ppp interface, but that is an assumption only. -- Jerry Feldman (HP On-Site Consultant) http://gbrweb.msd.ray.com/~gzf/ +-------------------------------------------------------+-----Note: ------+ | Raytheon Electronic Systems (W) (781)999-1837/1-1837 | My views may not| | Mail Stop: S3SG10 (F) (781)999-4030/1-4030 | reflect the | | 180 Hartwell Road (W) gzf at gbr.msd.ray.com | views of my | | Bedford, MA 01730-2498 (FWD:H+W) gaf at blu.org | employer. | +-------------------------------------------------------+-----------------+ - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
