This may not apply to you, but I, too, had COX problems this morning. I was
able to solve it by changing my dns'. The old ones were 24.1.240.x. My
LinkSys router box, which is dhcp to COX, now reports the dns as 68.2.16.30
and 68.1.208.30. I plugged these in and it worked like a charm

Subject: Problems with DHCPCD and Cox.net
Hi, all-
I am a linux newbie (2 years experience) living here in Phoenix. I run a
dual boot with Corel Linux 2nd edition and Windows 98. I am regrettably
posting to you from the Windows side, as I am now unable to connect to the
intranet using Linux.
I had no appreciable problems connecting until yesterday. I have verified
that DHCPCD is still starting at boot-up and is running. Ifconfig shows that
the network connection is up, and the ip addresses look valid to me,
although on one or two occasions when I have run it the RX line shows that a
large amount of data has been dropped. I am no whiz at this, but I think
that I have tried the most obvious, such as killing DHCPCD and then
restarting from a command line with -r, -h, etc--, renaming the resolve.conf
file, shutting off power to the modem and then restarting the modem, all
without success. I am at wit's end here, I hate using Windows, and I want
my Linux back.
Is anyone else having these blues? I thought it odd that this happened on
the day after Cox supposedly terminated any vestiges of @home service
(e-mail, etc.) I would appreciate any help/advice you can give on
troubleshooting and fixing this problem.
Thanks,
Lee Einer,
Phoenix, AZ
