[NTLUG:Discuss] Cable Modem Blues

[Patrick Parks]

Hello again, I have been doing some serious digging into some of the log 
files I am discovering to have and have some questions. This is in 
reference to the last posts that I made about the cable modem problem I 
am having. I am viewing this route command, and it does not look right to 
me. My gateway is 65.10.20.1, my netmask is 255.255.255.0 should these 
two be on the same line under eth0? I do not know where to go to change 
this, so any pointers would be helpful. I also am looking for a log file 
that will tell me what is happening when I lose my connection. I did a 
ping -f www today, and lost the connection, but I dont know where to look 
and see what is actually happening. Is there a log file that will give me 
this information? Below you will find the rsults of a ping -f I did, when 
it got about ¼ through it, I lost the connection, and I also included a 
ifconfig to show what it is telling me. I will send some more log files, 
but I want to keep the size of the e-mail down so that it goes through 
the server. Thanks for any help!
