HELP Needed With UPC + Ubuntu

Hello,
First of all please forgive me for using the English language but as I have recently moved here, I do not speak Dutch (yet smile )
When I install Linux (so far I have tried Ubuntu, Mint and Debian), I cannot get it to DHCP to my UPC Arris modem.

The modem is working fine on windows and since I am connecting using Ethernet it is not a driver issue.

I have tried rebooting the modem after installing linux, no luck.
I believe it is a peculiarity of UPC so please since it is a Dutch ISP I think it is better to ask the question here. So regarding this issue anyone has any ideas?
Changing ISPs for the time being is not an option smile
Unfortunately, UPC does not support Linux (as far as I was able to deduct using a dictionary from their page)

Bedankt!

Re: HELP Needed With UPC + Ubuntu

I don't write Englisch very well, I hope you will understand.
First of all, if you used Windows, before shutdown/reboot, start cmd in that window fill in ipconfig /release , attention see the space between ipconfig and /release, now you can reboot to Ubuntu. Look in Ubuntu for System-->Adminisration--> Networking flotting modus(I hope it's the correct word).
I had the exectly problem, i have UPC as provider to.

White kind regards,

Gijs

Reboot the cable modem is not necessary.

Unfortunately it is.
When I reboot to/from linux, reboot is required.

UPC sucks, when this contract is over, ill get a new ISP.

Re: HELP Needed With UPC + Ubuntu

Well, no probs here with UPC , and I have dual-boot Windows/ Ubuntu.
Both are connecting fine! So I think you don't have to blame UPC for that.
Better blame 'm for malfunctioning mailservers . big_smile But that's another story.

Zo , mijn engels ook weer geoefend! smile

isn't upc taken over by telenet?

well anyway, i don't know that much about networking etc, but isn't it a solution to just buy a router? then you get the ip from your router, not the modem...

You have the Arris cable modem as well?
If I do not have to blame UPC then what? Btw when I reboot to Vista after Ubuntu I still have to do the same chore (reset network card, reset modem, wait a bit etc). This is inconvinient, don't you agree?

@nunslaughter: Why should I have to pay 80e more for a decent router? sad (Cool nick btw, I used to hear this band as well smile )

BUT since this POS (not Point Of Sale smile ) is not doing NAT/Firewalling then perhaps it is a valid reason...

Re: HELP Needed With UPC + Ubuntu

A router is the easiest solution. You can get a cheap router for 30€ or less and it should work.

.

Pretty much so. I don't have the Arris modem, but I still think it's strange that you have to reset all the time.

As you might know UPC does register your MAC-adress as a "valid customer", so if you switch your networkcard(thus your MAC-address) , you have to reregister/ reboot/reset

That's the only time I have to renew the dhcp-lease(edit:manually. Each reboot/restart renews the dhcp lease), actually.

As long it's the same network-interface, rebooting from/to Ubuntu shouldn't be a problem .

If you put in the Live-CD , do you get an valid IP-address?

Anyway, obtaining an dhcp-lease has nothing to do what kind of OS you're running. The dhcp-server doesn't give a hoot about that. If you get an dhcp-lease in Vista then you should get one just as easily in Ubuntu. Or OS10. Or whathaveyou.

/*******************************

Ok, I have read through kernel boot messages (took out quiet and splash), I see the followning
[ 0.608000] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LMAC] (IRQs 20) *10
[ 1.700000] input: Macintosh mouse button emulation as /class/input/input0
[ 2.524000] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LMAC] enabled at IRQ 20

[ 2.524000] Please complain to your hardware vendor. Switching to a random MAC.
So this is why I have to reboot the modem each time. As this is highly annoying, any ideas how to fix the MAC thingie? I googled and found bug reports about it so sad Any ideas are more than welcome! The network adapter is an nvidia MCP95

Re: HELP Needed With UPC + Ubuntu

Buy a router, that's the easiest solution and I'm sure it will solve your problem.

You could also try to change a configuration file to change the mac address: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/c … on-ubuntu/
But I'm not sure if it works with your hardware.
