Perhaps I don't quite understand the problem. If you have a cable modem, and only one box (which is linux), you should merely have to run the DHCP client, which is dhcpcd, not dhcpd. This rpm should be found among the files on the install disk. No configuration should be required. Installing the package will also put the docs in /usr/doc/dhcpcd-*/. Andy.
