Who has Adelphia Cable?

[schmedy]

What Lan card do you use for your adelphia Cable modem? I had a one that worked fine with my old DSL, but them when I tried to use it on the Adelphia when I got it hooked up it wouldn't find the network. They eneded up putting one of their NIC's in, a realtech one then it worked. Anyone else have this similar problem?

Dude... it doesn't matter what NIC you use with what cable modem. Got a NIC? Great; use it. Got a cable modem? Great; use it.

And it's not an "Adelphia Cable modem" it's a Cable modem made by RCA, or Motorolla, or LanCITY (god forbid), etc., that's purchased by Adelphia for distribution with their service.

With your last post, I would highly suggest you call in and talk to a technician. Not to make you feel badly or anything, but ya don't know sh!t and would do well to have someone sit down and explain how the whole hardware/network/internet thing works.

I have Adelphia but no cable modem service and since they filed chapter 11, no hopes for it in the near future. They had been promising the county two way service for over 18 months.
But here's a bump for you. Maybe someone else could answerr it for you.

So you have cable TV only? And Adelphia only offers Telco-Return in your area? :Q Telco-Return = cable downstream, dialup upstream

Coblat, no sh1t that it is not an "adelphia cable modem" it is a motorolla surfboard. If you read the question right maybe you wouldn't be a thread flaming idiot. I had DSL moved and then the NIC did not work, did not work got that, config was good, yes good you moron, I then got the adelphia cable modem, aka cable service, or if you like Motorola Surfboard modem with Adelphia Cable as a broadband and it would not connect. I as well as the putz from adelphia checked the config in Windows and it was good just the speeds were way slow. Uninstalled then reinstalled it and it was still slow, this was the 3com NIC, follow along here. He wanted me to put his NIC in so I humored him and it worked. I then put the 3com nic in at work worked fine and fast as normal. I am asking if anyone ever heard of a weird thing like this. If you are oh so computer godly maybe you'd get off your high horse and not be an idiot, I don't need help was just asking a question of a weird thing that happened. Go back to flipping burgers and when you get a college degree and a real tech job talk to me.

Btw thanks for such great information, I can see by you ultra technical reply you do know sh1t,.............. bullsh1t.

ironic how somebody accusing ffmcobalt of being a moron has such miserable grammar and spelling....

-=bmacd=-

edit: added spelling to the list

edit 2: have you ever read anything ffmcobalt has posted? He's probably one of the most knowledgeable people on this board in regards to broadband, not to mention other things

I have Adelphia. Any nic should do. Maybe your nic is dead.

Wow.. one of those flames almost got me in the face.

I am getting the feeling that schmedy is getting the vibe that ffmcobalt is being too condescending in his tone. And I can see why he feels that way. His reply did not help answering schmedy's question in anyway.

Anywho.. the answer to schmedy question is, no it doesn't matter what kind of NIC you have. Which 3Com NIC do you have? I have the older 905 card hooked up to my Toshiba cable modem which I bought to use with my Adelphia cable modem service (just trying to be technically correct here). Before that, I have a generic NIC using the RealTek chipset. Honestly, I don't know any difference in speed at all. The only reason I swapped in the 3Com so I have the WOL feature.

Yes technically it is a cable downstream but as of January they would still only guarantee 60K download speed, and the typical connection of the people in the area was only around 90K in the middle of the night. The system needs some serious work in our county. No modem rental, telco return and they still wanted over $50 for this service.
/rant mode off

The more I read your original post, I think some setting just wasn't quite right. Although I have heard of other people having problems with cheap nics.
