I have no NIC card.

Please share the usb cable modem drivers that you have for linux, because as far as i am aware there are none.

Have you checked that the usb cable modem is bound to tcp/ip in the network stack? is it?

Both. As far as I know, an NTL Cmodem shouldnt work in Linux via USB as there are no drivers around for it as far as I know.

Yep i agree with you.... i have never been able to find drivers for usb cable modem on linux and nor has anyone i know...

anyway

the network stack:

go to start -> settings -> control panel -> network

there will be a list of items in the middle, eg
client for microsoft networks
dial up adaptor
usb cable modem
tcp/ip -> usb cable modem

Please post back with everything that is in the list.

I dont wish to burst your bubble, but, I just tried my good old knoppix 3.3 cd , using an ambit ntl home 120 via usb, and it worked instantly, maybe it detects it as the ambit 351000 and someone made drivers for it, either way, the ambit ntl modems DO work on linux, oh, if you need them , drivers for the CM (98 friendly) can be found http://homepage.ntlworld.com/triage/drivers/
