Is the system using pppoe?
What difference does it make? Either ways my basic net configuration has to happen right? Once I get the net config right I can login to hathway using cyberoam.
PPPoE overides IP settings. In a pc that I maintain, there is no IP alloted by the cablenet, so by default the nic card is set to dhcp. The dhcp server does not exist so after some hanging around, it gets some default ip like 169.XXX.XX.... The pppoe dialer is used to login to the cablenet and it takes over the ip, gateway and dns settings.
