I've done that, but still can't get online.netcardconfig works and and ip, gateway, broadcast, and dns get configured.
The modem does go online to get that info, right?
But i can�t browse anything. Ping doesn't work too.
Copied all those parameters from Windows (winipcfg), but it's the same thing.
I don't know what i am doing wrong here, as i am new to Linux

I've said that netcardconfig works! ifconfig shows me same info i have on windows, same IP, dns, etc..I mean, everything works ok, the modem is configured, ip assigned, DNS servers, all ok to go!
But if i try to ping some ip, browse, or wathever, it just sits there like i haven't got any modem.
I guess it just isn't supported, i've heard that cable modem via usb, do get some trouble to work on linux.

Have you checked /etc/resolv.conf to see if the DNS servers are actually configured properly?
