Well ive been over to linux again trying my hardest to follow every ones help this is my result

ping.ip.of.cable brought up netmonitor after about 3 minutes i thought nothink was happening then it appeared as follows

eth0 sending 36 average 10
eth0 received 0 average 0

but i also had eth1 realtek network card tab flicked to it 0 in all feilds then auto flicked back to tab1 eth0

the icon in the system tray says network is up on interface eth0
and to get this to stay active the modem has to be static once turned into dhcp icon in system tray has red cross through it and says network is down on intrface eth0

also when trying web browser could not find usable proxy script error message pops up in top lefthand croner

i set my realtek network cards ip address one number different from eth0 which i think is my modem used same gateway address from modem and same netmask as modem only thing is iam using static instead of dhcp on modem eth0 setup

any thoughts

Um this may sound silly but, are you sure that your cable modem is plugged into eth0 and not eth1. This was a problem i encountered when setting up my linux router, for some reason the system decided that the card in 1st PCI slot was to be eth1 and card in 2nd PCI slot was to be eth0. i only realised my mistake when my LAN PC's were blocked from connecting to internet.

Have you tried running hardrake on either of the eth cards and telling it to setup a new cable connection?

Ok, um when you set up the modem to connect on either of the eth cards, did you setup the entry under DNS server correctly? 1st DNS should be lo or 127.0.0.0 and 2nd DNS should be the ISP's DNS server and optionally you can have a third DNS server from your ISP.
