Hi,
I have AT&T @home service and the only way I could get it to work was to
invoke dhcpcd. Entering in the IP addresses and gateway did not do it
for me. I wound up removing all of the information for eth0 and entering
"dhcpcd -h <myhostname>" and it worked beatifully. If you read the cable
modem HOWTO I think it is different for different areas of the country.
I haven't a clue why that is so. The trick for me was that the @home
server needed me to tell it my host name. I could ping their server but
couldn't go any farther before doing that.
