I just converted from @home to Optimum Online. It is dead easy. Pick up or order the kit from your provider (in my case Cablevision). Set up your machine to use DHCP. The directions to do this are in the Red Hat Customization Guide, at page 127. I'd advise editing the configuration files manually and not using the GUI tool. Some on the list have reported problems with it (Network Configurator).
I think it took me 10 minutes. But write back if you have any difficulty. John On 12/23/01, 09:48:30AM -0500, Mark Neidorff wrote: > Hi All, > > I've read the cablemodem-howto.
