When configuring for @home cable modems dhcp should not be used.
Just configure with the control-panel.
The network file, located in /etc as 'network' should look like a copy of
mine, below;
-------------------- cut
# this file goes in /etc
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=no
HOSTNAME=CX645098-A
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
GATEWAY=24.0.151.1
IPX="no"
IPXINTERNALNETNUM="0"
IPXINTERNALNODENUM="0"
IPXAUTOPRIMARY="on"
IPXAUTOFRAME="on"
---------------------- uncut
Note the HOSTNAME will be what is given on your info sheet from @home
usually a 'CXnnnnnnnnn' and the GATEWAY= should be from your info sheet
also.
You can boot up in single mode, when you reboot at the lilo prompt enter
'linux single' that will allow you to get on the system and you can then
edit your /etc/network file as root like the sample I gave above.
Good luck,
Warren
