A work colleague of mine has configured his laptop to use his NTL broadband connection, by plugging it into his cable modem. He owns another laptop that also works.
His Sun Solaris machine, however, does not work. he can't even ping external IP addresses. there is not a hardware issue here at all, as the machine has run successfully on our lab subnet here at work. any ideas?!? |

I take it the IP of the solaris box is smiliar to that of the Cable modem?
Eg: Modem: 192.168.100.1 Solaris: 192.168.100.2 Does the cable modem provide a DCHP server? |

The cable modem has TWO ip addresses, which the customer facing one is issued by the local DHCP server on a lease basis.
The one which is client side which is internet visible to the user, and any local traffic is Nat'ed to that Ip address, the other is internal to NTL for admin purposes. |
