To use Floppyfw for a cable modem connection some settings must be made
in the CONFIG file

Modify the CONFIG file

in the external section :

# EXTERNAL is a hook for booting a external startup script from a package.
# the external script has to be in /etc/ext-up.init
#
OUTSIDE_IP=DHCP

next you must tell floppyFw wich device will be use for the internet connection
here in our case it is eth0

# eth0 default device
#
OUTSIDE_DEV=eth0

not used so commented out

# Not necessary to set these if you are using DHCP
#
#OUTSIDE_NETMASK=
#OUTSIDE_NETWORK=
#OUTSIDE_BROADCAST=

the name servers MUST be put here for this to work !!

# Misc
# These are not nescessary to set if you are using DHCP.
#
#DEFAULT_GATEWAY=
#NAME_SERVER_IP1=
#NAME_SERVER_IP2=
#DOMAIN=
#HOSTNAME=
