| Cable modems do or do not use multicasting to get stats? I noticed at »adslm.dohrenburg.net/linux/linux.php that some old DSL modems use multicasting to get stats, which explains why to get the stats one must do one of two things:
#1 A computer is wired directly connected to the modem.
#2 OR
a) a hub/switch is between the modem and the primary RJ-45 WAN port router
and
b) A computer is wired connected to that hub/switch is between the modem and the primary RJ-45 WAN port router.
To get online a the same time with a computer that is wired connected to that hub/switch is between the modem and the primary RJ-45 WAN port router, the computer must have two NICs.
Considering that we might get cable at home and I do not know what kind of cable modem we will get, I was woundering if cable modems use or do not use multicasting to get stats?

| How strong the signal from the teleco/ISP is. For example if talking about DSL, I point to »Verizon Online DSL FAQ »Modem Line Statistic Numbers. |

| Cable modem use a web interface aslong as your online go to 192.168.0.1 for Motorola modems. |

1 recommendation | That would be 192.168.100.1 for most Mot modems (and quite a few others as well)
