If you are using RedHat and the ISP uses DHCP (most do), then all you have to do is run an Ethernet cable from the cable modem to the network card in the box. Then open linuxonf, navigate to the "Host name and IP network devices" tab, then select the Adapter tab. Select Enabled and DHCP. Then acceprt the changes and close linuxconf. When it prompts you to activate the changes, tell it yes. You don't even have to reboot.

NAME
DOCSIS - Docsis configuration file creator.
DESCRIPTION
DOCSIS Configuration File creator.
This program encodes text configuration files which contain Configuration File Settings into binary configuration files, as specified by
the DOCSIS RFI 1.1 Specification, Appendix C.
To encode a cable modem configuration file:
./docsis -e <modem_cfg_file> <key_file> <output_file>
To encode multiple cable modem configuration files:
./docsis -m <modem_cfg_file1> ...
<key_file> <new_extension>
To encode a MTA configuration file:
./docsis -p <mta_cfg_file> <output_file>
To encode multiple MTA configuration files:
./docsis -m -p <mta_file1> ...
<new_extension>
To decode a CM or MTA config file:
./docsis -d <binary_file>
Where: <cfg_file> = name of text (human readable) cable modem or MTA
configuration file
<key_file> = text file containing the authentication key
(shared secret) to be used for the CMTS MIC
<output_file> = name of output file where the binary data will
be written to (if it does not exist it is created).
<binary_file> = name of binary file to be decoded <new_extension> = new extension to be used when encoding multiple files
See examples/*.cfg for configuration file format.
