Ok, I am stuck now, don't know what to do do.

I just got my cable access installed. It works fine under windows and everything. Now, when i tried using the modem with the computer that Im gonna use as a router, slackware ofcourse, I can get a connection going with the cable modem, but if I try to browse the net I get nothing.
Im using:
neetgear NIC,
Slack 8.1,
Adelphia is the net provider,
cable modem is the Terayon TJ615,
old P133MHz
64Mb RAM

the NIC was configured with netconfig to use the dhcp. Because everytime I boot up i get the following error:

Attempting to configure eth0 by contacting a DHCP server...
dhcpcd: MAC address= (my nic's mac address)
dhcpcd[60]: broadcasting DHCP_DISCOVER
dhcpcd[60]: timed out waiting for a valid dhcp server response.
eth0: remaining active for wake- on-lan

I was forced to do the:

dhcpcd -d -k eth0

dhcpcd -d -B -D eth0

the output of the command was:

dhcpcd: MAC address = 00:02:e3:22:61:9f
dhcpcd: your IP address = 68.70.171.186
dhcpcd: orig domainname = (none)
dhcpcd: your domainname = adelphia.net

So I figured that I had a connection with the modem, and therefore with the i-net connectionwas stablished, BUT when I tried links yahoo.com I got nothing.... I tried ping yahoo.com, and nothing..

this is my ifconfig output:

eth0

and this is my /etc/resolv.conf file

nameserver 24.53.64.35
nameserver 24.53.64.34
search adelphia.net


anybody? anyone? ideas? suggestions?
Thanks

can you ping your nameserver's listed in resolv.conf?

what does the "route" command show?
