Ray,
to the best of my knowledge the cable providers assign ip's etc..
via dhcp
my setup looks like this (in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0)
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
IPADDR=""
NETMASK=""
BROADCAST=255
ONBOOT=yes
you will need to keep your resolv.conf inorder for the dhpc to work.
once eth0 is started (ifup eth0 (during boot, or manualy)) dhcp will be
called and will negotiate your networking info with your cable provider.
Regards,
Ron
