DNS mask? Hmm. When asked for your nameserver you need to give the
numerical IP address of your nameserver(DNS), not a mask. The address
of your nameserver is given to you by your ISP, either when you sign
up, or (maybe) automatically using DHCP each time your cable modem is
powered on. If it's the latter then perhaps you can say yes to the
'configure using DHCP' option in the network configuration step,
if your router supports it.
