Just wondering, what makes everyone here so sure that DOCSIS modem's get better "ping"?

---

Well I used to get 5ms pings to my first hop with Shaw, on the Terayon. But thats long ago. I think the Terayon system is not as good when the segment has a lot of people using bandwidth, where as DOCSIS is more efficient at giving better service in a populated area.

Below is the ping time to my gateway with a 4-5yr old Lancity modem. Why would I want a different modem? I've moved 3 times since I first got cable, and have refused to return this modem for a new one every time.

PING 24.112.140.1 (24.112.140.1) from 24.112.xx.xx : 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 24.112.140.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=1.735 msec

I'm having a problem with my TCM 200.

When the tech guy came to install my Rogers cable, he told me my NIC wasn't installed properly. I don't know what the problem was, because it had worked fine (on a home network and with one of the old LanCity cable modems) up until that point.

So he gave me a USB network adapter. The internet works fine through it, but when directly linked up to my NIC, it doesn't work. The home network still works, though.

Does this modem only worth USB network adapters?

It's weird, because the top light is solid green, so it *should* be connected... it's as if the card doesn't recognize that it's hooked up to a modem, and I just installed the Windows ME driver for it, so why won't it work?

What's a MAC address?

I read about it on the Terayon website, and the suggestion was to try rebooting the modem, then letting it come online, then rebooting the computer connected to try to get a new MAC address.

This didn't work.

I'm completely confused. Has anyone else run into the problem, and has anyone else successfully linked this type of modem to a Linksys Cable/DSL router, without paying for extra IP addresses? My old LanCity modem worked great... maybe I'll just put that back on :P
