failed to mention the modem i have is a 2Wire 3800HGV-B.

connections, top down are;

   Auxline - Lines 1&2 - Phone Line - Broadband -
   Local Ether Net 1, 2, 3, 4 - USB-PC - Coaxline - Power

input is via Phone Line, Broadband, or Coaxline. rest are outputs.
except for Power. ;-)

instead of using 'ifconfig', i have a network icon in 'system tray'.
see my reply to Frank Cox.
