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.
