I just got one of my friends to try linux and he installed Mandrake 9.1, however, he's having trouble connecting to the internet. He's using a Toshiba PCX2200 cable modem that connects to his computer by a USB cable. I think it's probably just getting Mandrake to use the USB port for internet connections but I don't know for sure. If anyone could help it would much appreciated. Thanks.

Here's what he told me:
"when i put in "automatic detection" and then run the wizard, it automatically picks up "Windows Modem" (which, I know about that, but it worked fine for Red Hat so I don't see that being the problem) and "LAN Connection",.... it doesn't automatically pick up "Cable connection", however...when i uncheck those two and then check "cable connection" and then continue with the wizard, it says a connection is established, but the internet will not work, and then it goes back to saying there's no connection at the wizard screen"
