I've signed up for Comcast @home cringe! but it's the only way I can get broadband into my house for now. It uses dhcp and some other settings which for wind blows you'd configure through the control panel and the internet connection wizard. Does anyone have a script or whatever it would take to fill-in these values for a tcp/ip dhcp connection and lan etc? You do not need to use any proprietary software with @home as appearently the cable modem itself has it's own firmware to see your computer so it seems logical to me it wouldn't care what the computer O/S is provided the computer can talk to this sort of connection. I'm not in a rush as haven't even gotten around to setting up my Linux box. But any pointers would be helpful as I see there are other Cable Modem users on here. Thanks! in advance! - Amanda
